The coins are golden and they feature a picture of the profile side of a Pikachu.

### Defender Bonus

**Bài viết chính:** *Gym#Defender Bonus*
There is **Defender Bonus** that allows play to gather up to  50 free PokéCoins in a day for keeping Pokémon in Gyms.

The longer the Pokémon stay on the Gym, the more PokéCoins will be earned. For every 10 minutes a Pokémon occupies a gym,  1 will be added to the Trainers' potential defender bonus.

### PokéCoins' prices

Bellow there is chart of PokéCoins packages available to be purchased with real money in several currencies.

## Trivia

* Before bigger update of Gym system on Juny 20th, 2017 the Defender Bonus was working differently. There was a button in the top-right corner of the Shop page, that player could use once for 24 hours to acquire Defender Bonus reward.
* Players on level 4 or lower cannot buy Premium Raid Pass from shop what changes a bit layout of the shop page, as in Items section instead of 3 columns with items, there are two.
	+ Also because of that, such players doesn't see special offer boxes in the shop, if they're containing Premium Raid Passes.
