Symbolic Face Value

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

The nominal face value given to legal tender gold, silver, palladium and platinum coins that are sold for their precious metal content rather than their legal tender value. A 1oz gold American Eagle coin has a symbolic face value of $50 (US), for example, but its true value is based on the current gold spot price plus premium.
