Hello all,

Firstly, apologies for blundering in here without really knowing what I am talking about but I am hoping you good people can assist me with some advice.

I have inherited some bullion coins from a great uncle and I have no idea what their worth is outside of their gold value. I am wondering if they have any numismatic value?

The first is a 1oz Gold 1990 Britannia. I don't think it is a proof as it does not come in any kind of display/protective packaging other than a small plastic sleeve. To my eye it is in mint condition without any visible wear or tear.

The second coin is a 1oz Gold 1915 Austrian 100 Corona. Again it is in a plastic sleeve and in mint condition.

Hopefully someone can give me a bit of insight as to their value.

Many thanks

GP

Pictures of the front and back of each coin would help a lot.

Did you google for them?

The Britannia gold coins contain one troy ounce of gold and are .917 (91.7% or 22 carat gold) with the non-gold component being copper until 1989 and silver from 1990. (Wikipedia)

The Gold 1915 Austrian 100 Corona is almost certainly a bullion restrike, worth the metal price (AMPEX, for example sells certified version for $49.99 over spot - http://www.apmex.com/product/64073/...64-agw-9802) Gold Content, .900 fine (21.6 karat) = .9802 of an ounce per coin.
