More people are purchasing gold coins than ever before, according to one finance website.

In recent years the precious metal has become a "prized and popular investment", leading to surging numbers of consumers and investors choosing to purchase gold coins, Viploan reports.

The site states: "In accordance with the majority of experts and also professionals, gold happens to be a good investment for the future."

Collectability, alongside the fact that gold coins have been proven to be a good investment in terms of retaining their value, are the major reasons why purchasing coins made of the yellow metal is seen to be a good choice.

Similarly, gold jewellery and coins can be sold for more than their material value based on factors such as age, popularity and design, the site adds.

Owen Jones of Clogau Welsh Gold recently advised that those who are looking to make an investment in the precious metal should purchase gold bullion coins or bars.
