The source adds the following definition:
"Official coin demand is investment by individuals in gold bullion coins. It equates to the fabrication by national mints of coins which are, or have been, legal tender in the country of issue. It is measured at the country of consumption rather than at the country of origin and is measured on a net basis. In practice it includes the initial sale of many coins destined ultimately to be considered as numismatic rather than bullion."
"Physical bar demand is investment by individuals in small (1kg and below) gold bars in a widely accepted form".
