Coins and rounds made from precious metals make wonderful gifts for any occasion. Not only are they handsome pieces of art, but they’re also great investments that have historically kept their value during severe economic downturns.
One problem with precious metal gifts, however, is that they can be pricey for gifting. The good news is that you don’t have to empty your bank account to give the gift of precious metals. Here are some of the best precious metal gifts to give your friends and family members for around $25 or less.

The Buffalo Nickel was one of the most beloved American coin designs in the early 20th century and has remained a favorite with collectors ever since. That design has been replicated for this set of 20 half-ounce copper rounds. Each round is struck from .999 fine copper. If you want to give a considerable amount of copper bullion at one time, this roll of rounds is the perfect way to do it.

Like the set of copper rounds, the design for this round is taken from the famous Buffalo Nickel. Unlike its copper counterparts, however, this handsome round is struck from one ounce of .999 fine silver. Though they are both excellent investment metals, silver has the advantage of carrying a higher price per ounce than copper. If you're trying to buy a precious metal investment coin or round for someone with limited storage space, such as a young person living in his or her first small apartment, a single silver round such as this one might be more convenient than a roll of copper.

A perfect gift for anyone currently serving or former members of the military, this round is made from one ounce of .999 silver. On its obverse, a minuteman in Revolutionary War era garb stands guard with a musket. The reverse, however, is left largely blank, with the exception of weight and purity markings. The blank space can be used to engrave custom sentiments onto the round, making it a very personal gift for someone close to you.

Inspired by a design that dates back to the Golden Age of Athens, this 1 oz silver coin features on its reverse the image of an owl, an animal sacred to the Greek goddess Athena. This particular owl design, showing the bird wide-eyed in a perching position and facing the viewer, was so ubiquitous in ancient Greek artwork associated with the goddess that it has come to be known specifically as the Owl of Athena. Rather than Athena, though, the obverse of this coin shows a familiar profile portrait of Her Majesty. This coin is struck from .999 fine silver and will make a wonderful gift for anyone interested in ancient history.

The Morgan Silver Dollar may be the most famous silver coin ever minted in the United States. It was minted continuously from 1878 until 1904, but was resurrected for a final minting year in 1921. That final year produced these beautiful coins. True to the traditional Morgan design, these coins feature a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty on their obverse and an eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch on the reverse. For a true lover of antique coins, you can't go wrong with this inexpensive, yet historically significant gift.

The Peace dollar was the direct silver dollar successor to the Morgan Dollar, debuting in 1921. The design was meant to honor the restoration of global peace following World War I, leading to the portrayal of Peace as a figure in profile on the coin's obverse. The reverse shows an eagle perched on a rock. Though extremely beautiful, these coins still come in just below the $25 price point, making them a great budget gift.
