Because platinum is often considered an industrial precious metal, platinum coins are subject to 21% VAT in the Netherlands. Newly issued platinum coins, usually recognisable by the most recent year of issue, are therefore sold with VAT. For businesses this can be advantageous, as the VAT can often be reclaimed.
Platinum coins that we purchase from private individuals and offer as various years, also referred to as pre-owned platinum coins, fall under the margin scheme. In this case VAT is only calculated over the dealer’s profit margin and not over the full value of the platinum. As a result, you often pay a lower price than for newly issued platinum coins.
Because the year of issue has no influence on the intrinsic value of the platinum, these coins often allow you to buy more platinum for the same budget. Coins offered as various producers or various years are often the most economical choice for investors who mainly focus on the price per gram of platinum. However, the availability of these coins depends on what we buy from private sellers and may therefore be limited.
A good alternative to VAT-free platinum coins is buying platinum per gram through a precious metals account.

Platinum and palladium belong to the so-called platinum group metals (PGMs) and are rarer than many other precious metals. Platinum is even scarcer than gold. Unlike gold and silver, these metals were discovered and used relatively late. In ancient times, platinum was still unknown because it is difficult to melt and process. The name platinum comes from the Spanish word “platino,” which literally means “little silver.” Spanish explorers in South America initially saw it as a less valuable form of silver.
Platinum is mined in only a few places around the world. Most of the production comes from South Africa, particularly the Bushveld Complex, one of the largest platinum reserves in the world. Other major producers are Russia, Zimbabwe, Canada, and to a lesser extent the United States. Because of this geographical concentration, supply is relatively vulnerable to geopolitical developments and disruptions in mining operations.
A large part of the demand for platinum comes from industry. The metal is used, among other things, in catalytic converters in diesel cars, where it helps convert harmful exhaust gases into less harmful substances. Platinum is also used in chemical processes, electronics, jewelry, and hydrogen technology.
It is sometimes assumed that demand for platinum will decline sharply due to the electrification of the vehicle fleet. In practice, however, this transition is progressing more slowly than is often assumed. Moreover, according to commodities expert Jeroen Vandamme, around 60% of platinum demand does not come from the automotive industry, but from other applications. In the podcast with Vandamme on the Holland Gold YouTube channel, the unique properties and applications of platinum are discussed in detail.
One of the well-known 1 troy ounce platinum coins is the Philharmoniker. This coin illustrates a distinctive property of platinum. Platinum has a higher density than gold and silver, which means that a 1 troy ounce platinum coin (31.1 grams) requires less volume than a gold or silver coin of the same weight. Because the Philharmoniker uses the same diameter as the gold and silver version (37 mm), it is clearly visible that the platinum coin is thinner than both the gold and silver versions. This property makes platinum coins relatively difficult to counterfeit, because there are very few metals with a comparable density.
Palladium was first discovered in 1803 by the English chemist William Hyde Wollaston. Its name refers to the asteroid Pallas, which had been discovered shortly before. Palladium is slightly more common in the Earth’s crust than platinum, but it still remains a very scarce metal.
Global palladium production is highly concentrated. A large share of supply comes from Russia and South Africa, with additional production in Canada and the United States. In many cases, palladium is not mined as a primary product, but as a by-product of platinum or nickel mining. As a result, supply often depends on the production of other metals.
Palladium is mainly used in catalytic converters for gasoline cars, where it helps reduce harmful substances in exhaust gases. The metal is also used in electronics, dentistry, the chemical industry, and hydrogen technology. Because of these broad industrial applications, demand for palladium is closely linked to developments in global industry and the automotive sector.
Platinum and palladium are significantly less available than gold and silver, making prices more volatile. If you are specific to platinum and palladium has high expectations, it is interesting to These metals purchase.
Platinum and palladium are used by the automotive industry to make catalytic converters for vehicles due to their unique properties. Jewelry, dentistry, and electronics are also important sources of demand for palladium and platinum.

Platinum and palladium are both members of the platinum group according to the periodic system and are quite similar. Although the metals are chemically different, they have the same application in many areas. Both metals are mainly used as catalytic converters in industry and for cars. A selection of the other applications are: jewelry, space travel and medical science.
