The Success Of Gold Coins Has Inspired The Creation Of The New Largest Coin, Learn More Directly At Gold-Coin.com
February 11, 2010 – Depicting the huge success in gold bullion investing is a large undertaking and only a big coin would do it justice. This is the theory of German-based Global Metal Agency as it is taking orders for the largest gold coin in the world, the new German Global Liberty coin. Scheduling a production run of only three coins, the 99.99% pure gold coin will weigh 3,333 ounce, or 103.6 kg. The coin is expected to sell for 2.99 million euros, or approximately $4.1 million.
This coin will have a diameter of 19.7 inches and will have inscriptions that read “2010”, “Finegold” and “999.9”. The obverse of the coin will feature a two-dimensional picture of the world surrounded by a wreath and resemble the United Nations flag. The reverse will feature the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, a symbol of freedom that gained significance when President Ronald Reagan gave his famous, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” speech. With its amazing diameter of nearly 20 inches, the coin will dwarf the largest bullion coin by the US Mint, the America the Beautiful silver bullion coin; this coin will measure a modest 3 inches in diameter, meaning that six of these coins could rest inside the diameter of the Global Liberty coin.
While this coin is not being produced with the expectation of any large number of purchases, it will immediately become a rare collector’s coin with only three minted. Such a gold coin will no doubt capture the imagination of numismatics and investors alike, creating a stir that is normally reserved for rare Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles or Gold Dollar coins.
