Shouldn't the Maria Theresa Thaler be listed as a silver bullion coin from Austria, or is there something about that coin that disqualifies it as a bullion coin?
Big question that's not addressed in this article: what's the point of gold bullion? If the premise is that it provides a store of value directly tied to the value of the metal it's made from, rather than the fiat value of typical currencies, then what's the benefit of investing in coin from a state mint and not just buying the metal on the open market (gold bars, etc.)?
