Investing in Gold and Silver Coins: A Smart Decision

More and more people in Asturias and the rest of Spain are discovering that investing in precious metals through coins and bullion is one of the most solid ways to preserve wealth. Unlike other financial assets, physical gold and silver have no counterparty risk and have maintained their value for centuries.

Bullion coins such as the Krugerrand, American Eagle, Mexican Centenario, or Iberian Lynx have the advantage of combining the value of the metal with a collector's premium. In times of economic uncertainty, the demand for these pieces grows significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions about Numismatics in Asturias and Gijón

What is numismatics and what types of pieces does it cover?

Numismatics is the science and collecting dedicated to the study and valuation of coins, banknotes, medals, and other payment instruments throughout history. It ranges from ancient Roman coins to modern gold and silver issues for collectors and investors. In our Gijón numismatics shop, you will find everything from 19th-century silver duros to contemporary certified gold bullion.

Where can I sell antique coins in Asturias?

If you want to sell antique coins in Asturias, the easiest and safest option is to go directly to a specialized numismatics shop like ours in Gijón. We offer free appraisal and immediate payment, avoiding commissions from second-hand platforms or online auctions where the result can be uncertain. We also accept pieces by postal delivery with prior valuation by photograph.

How do I know if my antique banknotes are valuable?

The value of an antique banknote depends on several factors: its rarity, condition, issue date, and demand in the collector's market. The most sought-after peseta banknotes are the 1 peseta, 5 peseta, 25 peseta, 1,000 peseta notes (especially those from the Republic and certain Franco-era designs), and banknotes with printing errors. In our numismatics shop in Gijón, we offer free valuations to help you determine the real price of your banknotes.

What is the difference between a collector's coin and a bullion coin?

A collector's coin has value primarily for its rarity, age, condition, and historical interest: its price can far exceed the value of the metal it contains. A bullion coin is a coin minted specifically for investment, whose value is primarily tied to the weight and purity of the precious metal it contains (gold, silver, platinum). Examples of bullion coins include the South African Krugerrand, the American Eagle, or the FNMT Iberian Lynx. Both categories are interesting and you will find them in our numismatics shop in Asturias.

Can I buy gold coins without VAT?

In Spain, investment gold coins are exempt from VAT according to European regulations. For a gold coin to be VAT-exempt, it must meet certain requirements: minted after 1800, with a minimum purity of 900 thousandths, and a market price not exceeding 180% of the value of the gold it contains. Most popular bullion coins (Krugerrand, Centenario, Lynx, American Eagle, etc.) meet these requirements. However, bullion and silver coins are subject to VAT (currently 21% in Spain for silver). Consult us for any tax questions before making your purchase.

Is it safe to buy gold coins online?

Yes, as long as you do so through a specialized and trusted store. In our Gijón numismatics shop, we ship all high-value items insured and with tracking. We use specific packaging to protect the integrity of the coins during transport. Furthermore, all our coins and bullion are authentic and verified: we never sell pieces without verifying their authenticity beforehand.

Which old Spanish silver coins are most valuable today?

Among the most valuable Spanish silver coins are the silver duros of Amadeo I (1871), the 5 pesetas of Alfonso XII and Alfonso XIII in good condition, the 2,000 peseta silver coins from the series issued between 1994 and 2001, the columnarios from the colonial period, and the 8 silver reales. The 100 silver pesetas from the Franco era and certain issues of 50 centimos from Alfonso XII are also in high demand. If you have any of these pieces and reside in Asturias, bring them to our store in Gijón for a free appraisal.

What is the gold Centenario and how much is it worth?

The gold Centenario is the most famous Mexican gold coin: minted by the Casa de Moneda de México to commemorate the centenary of the country's independence (1821–1921), it contains 37.5 grams of pure gold (21.6 carat fineness). Its price varies with the price of gold, although it always carries a small premium over the metal's value. It is one of the most popular investment coins in Spain and worldwide. In our Gijón numismatics shop, we usually have Centenarios in stock, both original and re-strikes, at competitive prices.

Do you buy complete collections of coins or banknotes?

Yes. We buy both individual pieces and complete collections. In fact, for large collections, we prefer to make a joint valuation, as it may be more advantageous for the seller. We serve at our Gijón store by appointment or make home visits for large volume collections in the metropolitan area of Asturias. We also make purchases by mail for the rest of Spain.

Do you have philately in addition to numismatics in Gijón?

Yes, in addition to our specialization in numismatics, we offer a buying and selling service for stamps and philatelic material. If you are looking for a philatelic store in Oviedo or Gijón that also handles numismatics, we are your option. The combination of both disciplines allows us to offer comprehensive service to collectors throughout Asturias.
