Bullion represents bulk precious metals — typically gold, silver, platinum, or palladium — valued primarily by weight and purity rather than rarity or design. Although bullion is often pictured as gleaming bars or ingots, it actually appears in many forms: bars, coins, rounds, and even hand-poured pieces. The most recognizable type remains the “good delivery” bar, but many investors prefer coins or smaller bars for flexibility and liquidity.
Common examples include the American Gold Eagle, American Silver Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf, South African Krugerrand, Chinese Panda, British Britannia, and Austrian Philharmonic. Each is backed by its issuing government for metal weight and purity, making them trusted worldwide.
Since 1986, the American Eagle series has become one of the most popular bullion programs globally. Available in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, these coins combine trusted liquidity with artistic design and a government guarantee. Adding gold or silver bullion to your portfolio is one of the simplest ways to preserve long-term purchasing power.
