most popular gold coin by volume

[fiveshotdon]

Having seen multiple threads in the past it is obvious that on this forum at the least sovereigns are by far the most favoured coin for stacking in gold.

I read a post on a leading dealers website that listed the gold Britannia as their most popular coin which surprised me as it directly contradicts my experience selling and the many responses seen on this forum.

What are peoples thoughts on why this could be? Does anyone have any solid statistics that they have found on the amount of metal moved per coin year for each?

Worldwide, it's definitely the krugerrand.

Many people prefer the gold Britannia due to the fact that it is 9999 gold, 24 carat. It has a nice yellow colour and they love purity.

Crown gold 22k has been in leadership for decades of generations until the arrival of 24k fineness gold for the modern generations. Each generation has their popular trends. Since generations overlap, so does the popularity. Each has their own rights 😄

I wonder if that's based on their total sales in which a few very large buyers of 1oz Brits could tip the balance of many individuals buying smaller orders of sovs.
