While modern bullion programs are often the focus for many investors, some of the most significant opportunities for sellers come from historic European gold coins. These coins, once used in everyday commerce across Europe, now hold both collectible and intrinsic value. At DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we purchase a wide range of European Gold Coins, including British Sovereigns, Austrian Ducats, French Francs, Swiss Francs, Dutch Guilders, and German Marks.
If you’re looking to sell your historic European gold, we offer competitive evaluations, secure transactions, and trusted payouts. Below is an overview of the types of coins we actively buy.
Among the most famous European gold coins are the British Gold Sovereigns. First issued in 1817 during the reign of King George III, these coins trace their heritage back to the Tudor era. We purchase Sovereigns, Half-Sovereigns, and Double Sovereigns, valued both for their historic role in circulation and their enduring design.
Obverse portraits have included:
Collectors and historians often prize coins depicting Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II, whose reigns mark some of the longest and most influential periods in British history. The reverse typically features Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic design of St. George slaying the dragon, though some issues carried the Royal Arms.
The Austrian Empire and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire produced a wide variety of gold coinage. At DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we purchase Austrian gold coins featuring denominations such as the Corona, Ducat, Florin, Schilling, and Franc.
Many of these coins display the portrait of Emperor Franz Joseph I, one of Europe’s longest-reigning monarchs. The reverse designs often carry the crowned double-headed eagle of the Austro-Hungarian coat of arms. Coins issued in Hungary sometimes featured the king in full bust with a crown.
The French Franc has one of the richest histories in European coinage. We purchase French gold coins in denominations such as 5 Francs, 10 Francs, 20 Francs, and 40 Francs.
These pieces often depict leaders like Napoleon Bonaparte and Napoleon III, or presidents of the French Republic. Reverses typically feature the French coat of arms or inscriptions within a wreath. Many of the 19th and early 20th-century gold francs remain highly desirable among collectors.
With the creation of the Latin Monetary Union in the 19th century, Switzerland adopted the gold Franc as a national standard. The Swiss Franc gold coins we purchase often display Helvetia, the female allegory of Switzerland, with the Alps rising in the background. The reverse typically includes the Swiss national shield. These coins remain prized for their design and history.
The Dutch Guilder was in use for centuries before being replaced by the Euro in 2002. We purchase both 10 Guilder and 5 Guilder coins, many of which feature portraits of Dutch monarchs. The most common and collectible issues bear the effigy of Queen Wilhelmina, whose reign spanned from 1890 to 1948. The reverse usually displays the royal coat of arms of the Netherlands.
The German Mark gold coins, issued between 1873 and 1914, were among the shortest-lived yet highly collectible European coins. Following the unification of Germany, the Mark became the official currency of the German Empire.
We purchase German Mark coins in denominations of 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, and 20 Marks, which typically depict the reigning German Emperor on the obverse and the Imperial German Eagle on the reverse. These coins were discontinued with the outbreak of World War I, adding to their rarity today.
