There are gold coins that you simply buy – and those you secure before they're sold out. The 1/200 oz Gold Chinese Dragon 2026 clearly belongs to the second category. Packed into just 14 millimetres in diameter is a complete miniature work of art made of pure fine gold, issued by the Republic of Liberia and minted exclusively for Kettner Edelmetalle. Small in size, big in impact.

A dragon that makes an impression

The obverse shows the dragon's head in a gripping frontal view: a wide-open jaw, sharp fangs, watchful eyes and two striking horns. A flowing mane of beard and whiskers frames the face, while the scale-covered body winds around the design on either side. Every single scale appears individually worked out. The dark background creates a strong contrast to the golden relief – lending depth and an almost three-dimensional feel. At the bottom edge, the inscription "1/200 OZ 9999 FINE GOLD 2026" confirms the weight and fineness of the coin.

The reverse continues the story

On the reverse, the dragon winds majestically around a traditional Chinese pagoda landscape: multi-storey temples, curved bridges, intricate architectural details. The legend "Republic of Liberia" and the face value "25 Dollars" complete the picture. In Asian culture, the dragon has stood for strength, power and good fortune for thousands of years – a design with meaning that goes far beyond mere decoration.

Above all: genuine investment gold

As artful as the design may be – the dragon provides the personal touch, while the metal provides the real substance. Gold is the world's oldest currency, has never had a value of zero, and has been valued as a reliable store of value for over 6,000 years. The value of this coin is based primarily on its fine gold content and moves in line with the gold price. Those who regularly acquire small amounts build up, step by step over the years, considerable wealth in physical form – with the small denomination noticeably lowering the entry threshold.

• Preservation of value: gold preserves purchasing power and can be passed down through generations
• Liquid & tradable: recognised worldwide, resalable at any time and easily converted into cash
• Scarce commodity: the limited supply makes gold a proven inflation hedge and also serves many as crisis protection
• Tax aspect: profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year

Gold has been shining for thousands of years – and it will never lose its shine. It is precisely this permanence that makes every gram of fine gold a solid building block for long-term wealth accumulation.

Proof (PP) minting quality

This gold coin is minted in the highest possible quality level, Proof. Mirror-polished surfaces meet a frosted background – the unmistakable hallmark of PP quality. Even on the tiny 14 mm surface, every detail stands out razor-sharp as a result, from the whiskers to individual scales. The coin is delivered in an elaborately designed coin card in deep red and gold featuring a dragon and pagoda motif, which protects the fine gold and presents it to great effect.

Strictly limited – part of the "Chinese Mythical Creatures" series

With a worldwide mintage of only 5,000 pieces, this issue is a genuine rarity. Experience shows that such limited mintages sell out quickly, and it is precisely this strict limitation that underpins an appreciation potential that can exceed the pure material value – though concrete price developments can, of course, never be guaranteed. Chinese dragons are among the most sought-after designs on gold coins in any case; compared to larger dragon issues, this 1/200 oz piece scores with its low capital outlay while still offering full fine gold quality. The coin joins the "Chinese Mythical Creatures" series, which is already attracting keen interest.

For investors – and as a gold gift

The 1/200 oz Gold Chinese Dragon 2026 is aimed at anyone who wants to own physical gold in a small, manageable denomination – whether as an entry point into gold investment or as a smart addition to an existing holding. It also makes an impressive gift: for a birthday, christening or Chinese New Year, you're not just giving a souvenir here, but full-fledged investment gold whose value tracks the gold price. Despite the personal occasion, what you're acquiring is minted fine gold – arguably the most beautiful way to pass on genuine value along with a touch of Far Eastern symbolism.
