Yes. Especially modern bullion coins.

Coins like modern British Sovereigns, US Gold Eagles and Canadian Maple Leafs are all traded at a small premium over the spot price of gold, usually around $20 so their value is simply the price of all the gold in them plus around $20. Some older common European gold coins have similar price trends.
