When you buy physical palladium you will always pay a bit more than the spot price. This difference between the spot price and the total price you pay is known as the premium. The amount of the premium is determined by a number of factors including where the product was struck and what form it is in. As an example, you could expect to pay a higher premium for a palladium coin than a palladium bar.

There are multiple qualities that make palladium an appealing precious metal. Like other precious metals, one of these is its general scarcity. This metal is typically in demand due to the fact that it is one of the Platinum Group Metals. Since it is so similar to platinum it is also used in catalytic converters. This is the main purpose that palladium is used for today.

Palladium coins and bullion products aren’t very common. They are available, but so much of this metal is used for industrial purposes that few Mints or refineries handle a significant amount.

While Russia used to issue Palladium Ballerina coins, they are no longer in production. The Canadian Palladium Maple Leaf is the most readily available palladium coin today. The British Virgin Islands also issue a clever palladium coin featuring an Athena design. The connection is that this metal is named after the asteroid Pallas and this asteroid was named after a Greek goddess who fell to Athena.
