In the foreground, the dove of peace hovers with the olive branch in its beak. It returned while searching for land, signaling to Noah that the flood was over and the ark could be left. The inscription gives the name of the ship in Armenian as well as in English as »NOAH'S ARK«.

Investment Gold in Its Purest Form – Wealth Preservation That Can Be Passed On

Even if the occasion may be personal: what you are acquiring here is full-fledged investment gold – minted fine gold whose value follows the gold price. Gold is the oldest currency in the world and has served as a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It possesses intrinsic value, is tradable worldwide, and thanks to its high liquidity can be sold again at any time. Small units like this 1-gram coin are particularly well suited to building wealth step by step: small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable value and can be passed down through generations.

Like physical gold in general, this minting also contributes to inflation hedging and is valued by many investors as crisis protection – a scarce commodity with limited supply that has retained its luster for millennia. A pleasant side effect: profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

Gold has shone for millennia – and will never lose its shine. Anyone who acquires fine gold in small units is investing in a value that can neither be printed nor multiplied at will.
