I was buying foreign gold on occasion, until the spot price went too high. Now adding to that collection is a low priority. Still, it's a fascinating project if you choose to spend your available coin bucks in that area. In my experience most common world gold coins are available for maybe 10-25% over melt.
My world gold collection includes one gold coin each from: Argentina Australia Canada Chile Hungary The Netherlands Peru Russia Sweden Spain Uruguay
I don't particularly look for gold coins (too expensive) but I do have a 1/4 koula from Tonga because of my OFEC collection. Oh and a 1963 sovereign for my birth year collection.
Good luck with the collection, I hope you have somewhere very safe for them, but will still get to look at them occasionally!
Ireland has issued several gold coins; the most recent one is the Skellig Michael €20 piece. Not for circulation, sure, but then there are many others that should not be counted either ...
