What is Platinum?
Platinum is a rare and valuable metal, named after the Spanish word 'platina,' meaning "little silver." Discovered by Spanish explorers in 1735, it was officially recognized as an element in 1774, with the chemical symbol Pt and atomic number 78. Platinum is primarily found in South Africa, Russia, the USA, and Colombia, often alongside other Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) like Palladium, Rhodium, Iridium, Ruthenium, and Osmium. Annual platinum production is significantly lower than gold, making it a unique and sought-after investment.
Why Invest in Platinum Coins?
1. Scarcity and Value: Platinum is much rarer than gold or silver, with annual production around 8 million ounces. This rarity contributes to its high value and potential for price appreciation.
2. Economic Sensitivity: Platinum prices are influenced by economic and labor conditions in major producing countries, primarily South Africa and Russia. This sensitivity can create investment opportunities.
3. Industrial Demand: Platinum's extensive use in automotive catalytic converters, electronics, and jewelry drives consistent demand, making it a valuable industrial metal.
4. Historical Performance: While platinum prices peaked in 2008, the metal continues to be a valuable long-term investment, especially when its price dips below that of gold.
