HISTORY shows that in times of crisis, be it war, financial or widespread disease, many people turn to gold as a way of storing wealth and hopefully profiting in the long run.

At the beginning of July, the yellow metal broke the $1,800 (€1,599) barrier for the first time since 2011 and with the threat of negative interest rates is likely to attract many buyers.

Individuals should never purchase proof gold coins which are priced far higher than spot but should look at modern bullion coins direct from Government mints.
