Australian Mint Gold Products

Since the U.S. Mint is having such difficulty keeping gold coins on the market, let's take a look at the Royal Australian Mint. Currently the Mint's online catalog includes 9 individual Australian gold coins and one set of three Commonwealth gold coins. I'll give the listed international prices, within Australia there is GST added. I've eliminated cents and used a conversion rate of .698299...of course this changes daily.

2007 $10 Gold Proof 1/10 ounce Lunar Series "Year of the Pig". No mintage limit. Price: AU$159=US$111

2008 $10 Gold Proof 1/10 ounce Lunar Series "Year of the Rat". Mintage Limit 2500, 2 per customer. Price AU$159=US$111

2009 $10 Gold Proof 1/10 ounce Lunar Series "Year of the Ox". Mintage Limit 2500, Price AU$213=US$148

2008 $10 Gold Proof 1/10 ounce Centenary of Rugby League. Mintage Limit 3000, 2 per customer. Price AU$190=US$132

2009 $10 Gold Proof 1/10 ounce Gold Kangaroo Proof. Mintage Limit 1500, SOLD OUT

The available set of three coins includes a British Sovereign, Canadian Maple Leaf and the Australian 2008 Kangaroo at Sunset. The Sovereign and Maple Leaf are 1/4 ounce coins and the Kangroo is 1/5 ounce. Mintage is limited to 2500 sets and is internationally priced at AU$1541=US$1076.

Australian Gold Coins have been favorites of collectors and investors for quite awhile.
