Hi , are Gold and Silver Bullion coins considered as collectables or does it depend on factors surrounding them?

For example , is an Australian one ounce pure silver Kangaroo bullion coin witha nominal face value of AUD$1 held by a private individual ,stored in their house a collectable when sold as far as CGT is concerned?

I read somewhere on the site that to be considered collectables their value has to exceed their face value and they have to be traded at a price above their spot price. This was related to managed funds though so not sure if this applies to a private citizen holding them at home and then selling them to say a bullion dealer (for a profit)

Thanks in advance

Hi @JimmyW,


This is a great question!


When it comes to collectables, you're on the right track.


The coins would be considered collectables. If your intention is to sell them, they may attract CGT depending on the amount you acquired them for.


We have a great page that has a list of CGT assets and exemptions you may find helpful 😊
