Background
What a bullion coin is
Precious metal in bulk is called bullion: it is cast or struck into bars, wafers or coins. A bullion coin, as the Royal Canadian Mint defines it, is a coin an official agency strikes in undetermined numbers, for investors. It is legal tender, but its price follows the platinum it contains, not its rarity or the amount written on it.
The platinum Vienna Philharmonic comes in 1 ounce, with a face value of 100 euros, and in 1/25 ounce, of 4 euros. The platinum Koala started in 1988 in four sizes: 1 ounce (100 Australian dollars), 1/2 ounce (50), 1/4 ounce (25) and 1/10 ounce (15), all four with an unlimited mintage.
