The collector's coin 1/4 oz Gold Feng Shui Phoenix 2016 is a true rarity for connoisseurs. It represents the fifth issue of the popular Feng Shui series from the New Zealand Mint – and it is precisely the small gold mintage that makes it so special. With a mintage of only 888 pieces worldwide, this Niue gold coin ranks among the most sought-after and most strictly limited examples among gold coins from the Far Eastern-inspired thematic range. Anyone who can purchase such a Niue Phoenix issue today secures an exceptionally scarce collector's piece.

The Design: Phoenix and Peony as Harbingers of Good Fortune

The design side features a magnificently ascending phoenix, soaring with outstretched wings from a sea of peonies. In Feng Shui, the phoenix symbolises hope, fame, joy and rebirth, while the peony – the "queen of flowers" – stands for wealth, beauty and noble standing. The Chinese characters 凤凰 (fènghuáng) as well as the inscription "1/4 oz 9999 Fine Gold" complete the design. The value side bears the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the year of issue 2016, the island nation of Niue and the face value of 25 dollars. The coin is framed by a finely milled edge.

Proof: The Art of Minting at Its Finest

This gold coin is produced in the premium quality Proof. In Proof striking, mirror-polished surfaces meet finely frosted design motifs – a contrast that makes the phoenix stand out in relief and turns each piece into a small work of art. The coin is delivered in a premium original wooden box with the accompanying certificate of authenticity, which documents the limited provenance. This ensures the first-class condition is permanently protected.

Why This Rarity Makes Collectors' Hearts Beat Faster

The combination of a tiny mintage, a noble design and the finest striking is what makes this bullion coin so appealing. Such a very low mintage is the exception in the gold sector – and it is precisely this scarcity that is at the heart of the collector's value. With growing demand and a fixed, non-expandable supply of only 888 pieces, an attractive appreciation potential emerges that sets this issue apart from ordinary investment products.

Gold is humanity's oldest currency – a proven store of value for over 6,000 years that has never lost its intrinsic value and has never fallen to zero.

Like all investment gold, this coin possesses an intrinsic value and is globally tradeable and highly liquid. Gold has been valued as a symbol of wealth for millennia and retains its lustre permanently. Investment gold is also exempt from VAT in Germany, and profits from sales are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. In addition, many buyers value gold as an inflation hedge and as crisis protection – an aspect that meaningfully complements the collector's character of this issue.

Who the Feng Shui Phoenix Is Suited For

Whether as a centrepiece of a Niue gold collection, as an expressive gift with Far Eastern symbolism, or as a small, compact gold position alongside classic gold bars and silver coins: the 1/4 oz Gold Feng Shui Phoenix unites collector's passion and pure precious metal in a single piece. Anyone looking for a strictly limited collector's coin with character will find one of the most captivating issues from the New Zealand Mint right here.
