Sir Paul McCartney gold and silver coins put up for auction

ByVictoria

One gold and four silver pieces are being made available for collectors, the Royal Mint said, and they will be presented through auction via Stack’s Bowers Galleries.

“Each coin available at auction is a testament to the exceptional skills of our craftspeople at the Royal Mint.

“Taking hundreds of hours to produce, the masterworks crafted from gold and silver feature highlights from Paul’s career and his journey to becoming one of Britain’s most successful artists in history.

“The impressive five-kilogram gold coin has also been hand signed by Paul during his Got Back tour at the end of last year – a symbol of his personal seal of approval of this iconic one-of-one piece.”

People can bid for the coins online up until March 19, when the auction ends, with bidding starting at one US dollar.

    Central Banks keep gold rally

    Central banks are expected to help keep gold’s stunning rally going this year with buying aimed at further diversifying reserves away from the dollar due to risks stemming from U.S. President Donald Trump’s policies.

    Spot gold hit its latest record at $3,167.57 a troy ounce on Thursday for a gain of 19% since the start of 2025 and a hefty 71% rise since the end of 2022.

    “Emerging market central banks currently hold around 10% of their assets in gold. They should really hold 30% of their assets in gold,” said BofA commodity strategist Michael Widmer.

    “From the central banking perspective (uncertainty) means less incentive to add Treasuries into portfolios and more incentive to actually de-dollarise it,” he said.

    Twangiza Mining, a gold miner operating in the rebel-controlled South Kivu Province in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, said it has been ordered to suspend operations by the rebel administration, according to a company-wide letter seen by Reuters.

    Manu Birato, who was recently installed as M23 governor of the South Kivu Province, said Twangiza Mining must adapt to new regulations and pay taxes they have not been paying.

    “We are in talks with them and showing them that from now on they must start paying taxes,” Birato told Reuters.

    Copper and Aluminum drop

    Base metal prices plunged early Friday, with three-month benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange recently -3.7% at $8,985.50/metric ton and three-month aluminum  -1.4% at $2,422.50/ton, as President Trump’s worse than expected tariffs trigger global growth slowdown fears, sparking a selloff in industrial metals and mining equities.

    Copper and aluminum have dropped 8.7% and 7.7%, respectively, so far this week, as the tariffs drag down demand forecasts

    Trump hit China with a 34% “reciprocal” tariff on top of existing duties, and China announced Friday that it will likewise impose 34% tariffs on all U.S. goods starting April 10.

    “While we remain structurally bullish copper in the long run, weaker global GDP and copper demand growth risk delaying the deficit we expect to see in the market this year,” Goldman Sachs wrote.

    Mark Brennan, CEO and Chairman commented, “While Q2 results were modestly lower than our expectations as the heap leach continues to ramp up to its fully expanded capacity, we continue to be confident in our full year expectations as the underground operations ramp-up in H2/25. Cerrado also continued to progress both the Lagoa Salgada project and the Mont Sorcier projects towards completion of feasibility studies by Q3/2025 and Q1/2026 respectively, which we believe should demonstrate substantial value being unlocked by Cerrado’s development projects.”

    Spot gold climbed 1.6% to $4,590.51 per ounce by 10:19 a.m. EDT (1419 GMT), earlier touching $4,604.18 — its highest since May 15. U.S. gold futures rose 1.7% to $4,647.00.

    “A big factor, of course, is technical… next step is $4,700 if this momentum continues, but also I think it’s been very much driven by a drop in the U.S. dollar,” said Bart Melek, global head of commodity strategy at TD Securities.

    “Gold call option demand has risen sharply amid renewed demand for global macro-policy hedges, creating a mechanical price amplifier to both the upside and downside,” Goldman Sachs said in a note.

    Spot silver gained nearly 2% to $69.43 per ounce, platinum climbed 3.8% to $1,897.36, while palladium rose 0.6% to $1,342.30. All metals are set for a weekly gain.

    Goldman Sachs is tipping a continued rise in Newmont’s share price with a target for its New York listed shares set at $47.20, up 17% on last sales at $40.23 while the company’s Australian listed shares are forecast to rise from A$64.80 to A$76.20.

    Strong central bank demand is expected to continue lifting the gold price towards $3000 an ounce from its current $2670/oz, according to Goldman Sachs

    “We expect our Australian gold coverage is set for a growing cash harvest over the next 12-months as price increases outweigh cost escalations, supporting further balance sheet strength, growing capital returns and prospective merger and acquisition activity,” Goldman Sachs said.
