Here is the most recent sale I could find (two lots sold at the same price in that auction):
https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?lot...lot&sid=6506I guess the coin is made to contain about 1/2 ounce of gold (please check my math), and gold was trading at about $1850 on the sale date.
With the GBP at about $1.20 at the time and (I am guessing) a 20% auction premium, that buyer paid the equivalent of $1370 to get the coin. So it looks like there is some premium above bullion.
