Dear fellow stackers, good morning!

Thank you all for your inputs    I also did some research in the meantime, with the help of ChatGPT hehe

Here is a usuful link for people who are travelling within EU space:

Apparently the value threshold for declaring gold coins is 10k or above.  Regarding silver, there is no mention to it.


Have a great day!

Yes I also only intend to fly with small quantities, not more than 1 or 2 coins at a time. I am also taking the digital invoices just in case.

Thank you!

Germany can be quite strict with gold. I saw an article a few months back where they confiscated the small gold bars from a Chinese woman because she didn't declare it at the airport. This normally only applies for amounts over Euro10,000. Best check about regulations in your home country

Yes
I have no idea. I just carried at most one full ounce at the time, often just one or two 1/4 oz. Never been stopped at the metal detector. Had I been stopped, I would have just declared the truth, gold price is £££ per ounce, which is well below the 10K threshold

Most customs officers do not know what to do with gold.  You have to tell them what the law says.  In the case of Australia you need to declare anything over AUD$10k.  There is no maximum but it must be Bullion Investment - 99.5% for gold and 99.9 silver.  If you carry anything significant then you could be asked to evidence ownership.  That is when receipts and invoices come in handy.   They do not know how to read them or if they are relevant to the stash you are bringing in but it is always useful to carry a pile  of invoices or receipts and give it to customs if they ask for prove of ownership.  They will go away to photocopy the pile and check the customs regulations and come back to thank you for your patience.  At least that was my experience.  I was once leaving Australia with a significant gold.  They could not find the form to declare that it was over 10 k so they asked me to just go away.  Asa long as you know more than they do about the law and project confidence (with respect) you should not worry.

I would be surprised if you had issues with that quantity but when you're walking through security you could try aiming for the staff member with the smallest hands just incase 

I have posted on this before.
Gold definitely shows up as different from any other materials on Airport X-rays.
Twice I have travelled with 1oz Gold coins and they want to know what they were at security.  Once they knew what they were they couldn’t care less.  

It depends on the laws of the country you're taking the gold into.  You will probably have to declare it above a certain amount, and the country will have laws that determine what constitutes investment gold (not subject to taxes) vs what is chattels (usually subject to taxes such as VAT).
For example, in the UK, quite a few different types of coins can be legally taken into the country as investment gold (there is a list on the HMRC website) and I think that the legislation in the EU is similar.  However, in Australia or New Zealand (for example), only gold or silver of a certain purity can be taken as investment bullion, and other types are eligible for GST; this incidentally means that Krugerrands, AGEs and sovereigns all collect VAT in New Zealand.
Chances are that if you're in Germany and moving somewhere else in the EU, the legislation will be the same as Germany.  However, you will have to do your homework about the country you're taking the gold into. 

Maybe not super exciting sovereigns but I love the box 😛

Thank you everyone for this amazing feedback and great detailled inputs!

Indeed I stayed away from those bars, it was too good to be true anyways...  

Cheers everyone!!

yes look very similar to OPs one 100% fake

Absolutely and if it helps prevent another forum member being knowingly or unknowingly sold fakes it's even better

Gotta love a good game of spot the difference 😂

Look at the lack of lustre on the bar also....
Something smells fishy and Im not talking about my late great uncle apple crumble.

They don’t look legit to me mate 

I think that there enough danger signs to just not bother and it’s 
probably too cheap🤔😮

The swirl pattern is different as well.

Compared to the known real one it looks to have quite a few issues. I'd video you opening and doing a magnet test.
