The international hallmarking convection mandates that gold percentage in the alloy is above the threshold. BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards), the Government of India regulatory body which maintains the standard issues certificates to gold coins and jewellers that meets that standards of the convention as per norms of Government of India and International hallmarking convention.

Packaging:<\/b>\u00a0\u200b This crucial factor increase credibility to the purchaser. Tamper-proof packaging is a must to ensure the purity and fineness of gold coin and item remains intact against adulteration. One should avoid tampered packages since jewellers offer no validity towards claims of less weight or purity in such conditions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Human-made or machine-made ornaments: \u200b<\/b>\u00a0Modern day technological advancement have entered jewellery business also and machine-made gold coins and ornaments have lesser price than the traditional handmade items which requires skilled craftsmanship and more extended working hours resulting in higher cost attached to making charges. While machine-made articles in investment options improve the authenticity through mechanised hallmarking using laser and stamping facilities, traditional skilled craftsmanship in ornaments and decoration items are highly sought after giving priority to humanmade ornaments.<\/div>\n

Making Charges:\u200b<\/b>\u00a0Manufacturing procedure will influence making charges levied by jewellers on coins and ornaments. The relative effort and craftsmanship used in making complicate jewellery designs make it cost higher at about 8-10% higher from the actual value of gold, and this makes gold in the form of coins and bars more affordable for investment purpose. Purchase of gold coins can be preferred from machine-made options since it reduces unnecessary making charges<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Denominations:\u00a0<\/b>\u200b The investment options and the prices factors are crucial in deciding the number of gold coins purchased. Various jewellers and manufacturers offer a wide variety of denominations to customers. The range of denominations varies from 0.5 grams to 50 grams depending on the size and trend of the market. The current rate of small gold coins available for purchase is around Rs1800-Rs2000\/- but is dependent on market fluctuations.<\/div>\n

Jewellery Store: \u200b<\/b>\u00a0The brand value and credibility of the Jewellery store and gold coin manufacturer are vital since there are high chances for adulterations and contamination in the purity of gold coin when purchases are made from a local jeweller with no brand value. Preferably, purchase of gold coin for investment purpose can be made through stockholding Corporation of India attested vendor outlets which may be financial and non-financial institutions. Gold prices fluctuate depending on international prices and financial situations. In India, it is also dependent on the festive and seasonal variations.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
