Though gold and silver dominate the precious metals market, platinum is a precious metal that deserves a place alongside them. Adding platinum bullion to your investment portfolio will increase its value and give you much more latitude when it comes to liquidation. Platinum is finally becoming a consistent metal on investors’ and collectors’ radars. In addition, because government mints make platinum coins, they always maintain high quality and have a face value guaranteed by the government of the issuing country.
Only official government mints issue these coins, meaning they are not only of the highest quality, their face values are guaranteed by their respective governments.
Platinum is less expensive than gold per ounce but far more valuable than silver.
Platinum coins are easy to sell.
Aftermarket appreciation is based on the year of mintage, design, and other factors that might increase collector demand even for bullion-grade platinum coins.
But which platinum coins are the top sellers? Which platinum coins would add the most value to your portfolio?
The South African Mint produces the South Africa Big Five Elephant Platinum BU version in the Big Five series, which highlights five of the most well-known African creatures.

Though relatively new to the precious metals bullion world, this platinum beauty has made its presence known.
