It is the lowest-cost way to own a 24-karat gold coin from The Royal Mint, and a popular first gold purchase or gift. As with all small coins, the premium per ounce is higher than for larger coins.
Smaller gold coins let you buy gold in amounts that suit your budget, and sell part of a holding when you need to rather than all at once. The trade-off is a higher premium per ounce than one-ounce coins and bars, so many buyers combine small coins for flexibility with larger pieces for value.
