Investment gold of the Czech Mint
The bricks and ingots in our offer come from renowned Swiss refineries. Investment gold in this form reaches a maximum purity of 999.9/1000. The same is the case with coins and medals of the Czech Mint, which we mint from Austrian gold of the highest quality. The bullion coins of other mints around the world are minted from gold of various purities.
Investment gold products in the Czech Mint's offer start at 0.5 g and are affordable for every investor. Gold serves as a store of value and should therefore not be missing from a balanced investor's portfolio. Another essential benefit of investment gold is its high global liquidity.
Why should you invest in gold?
The mantra of every investor is to reduce risk by spreading it. By owning different types of investments, the potential loss is limited and in simple terms, if you lose on one type of investment, ideally a completely different type will make you a profit for a change. Therefore, it pays to maintain a varied, independent investment portfolio of which gold is an integral part. The value of gold has very little correlation with other assets and so cannot be adversely affected by them.
Moreover, another argument for investing in gold is the preservation of intrinsic value. Historically, gold has maintained a constant value in relation to comparable commodities - in ancient Rome, one troy ounce of gold was enough to buy a fine toga, during the Great Depression it was enough to buy a tailored formal suit, and it will do the same today. In contrast to this example, the value of money is falling significantly even in a relatively short time frame. Whereas one US dollar was enough to buy ten loaves of bread during the Great Depression, it can barely buy a bar of chocolate today. Gold has held its value for millennia, and the purchasing power of the dollar has fallen by 95% in 80 years.
The increase in the value of an investment in gold is determined primarily by one of the basic economic principles - the conflict between supply and demand.
On the supply side is gold mining. Research by mining companies clearly shows that gold resources are becoming scarce. And that's not all. Another trend is the declining quality of reserves - the rock left to be mined has a low gold content, making it increasingly difficult to find deposits that are worth mining at all.
On the demand side, the industry applies gold's unique physical and chemical properties to the production of key technologies that we can no longer imagine our lives without. Then there are the goldsmiths and jewellers. Of course, we must not forget the investors, whose demand for gold is constantly increasing, and the key players are the states and their central banks, which hoard gold as a reliable reserve.
What does it all mean? The value of gold is on the rise because gold is dwindling and the amount that is mined and not consumed is what smart investors want to grab for themselves. Feel free to join them!
