A predator in pure gold – the shark as the design of the new Wildlife series

Rarely has a design unleashed so much energy on a coin's surface. The 2026 edition of the World's Wildlife series is dedicated to one of the most fascinating hunters on our planet: the shark. Head-on, the head and wide-open jaws emerge from the splashing water – a moment of pure natural force, captured within an impressive diameter of 65 millimetres. The fact that this work of art exists only 50 times worldwide makes it an extraordinary collector's coin for true connoisseurs.

"When nature, minting artistry and rarity converge, the result is a piece that is far more than precious metal – it tells a story."

Why this shark makes collectors' hearts beat faster

The World's Wildlife series has quickly established itself as one of the most sought-after thematic series. Each edition features a special animal, but the 2026 shark edition sets new standards with its dramatic imagery. The deep, sculptural relief work brings the predator's jaws literally out of the coin's surface, while the highly polished mirror fields surrounding it sparkle like the ocean surface under a low-lying sun. That is precisely what the Proof minting quality stands for – and precisely why this piece plays in the premier league of modern coinage.

A collector's coin with character – and with history

The reverse features the coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo with the distinctive leopard's head and the motto "Justice – Paix – Travail". Together with the clearly legible inscription "2 oz Au 999.9", the coin becomes a testament to artisanal precision. Gold itself is the oldest currency in human history, a proven store of value for over 6,000 years, possessing an intrinsic worth that no other form of money has ever been able to match. Combined with a mintage of only 50 pieces, the result is a collector's object that shines at the highest level both artistically and materially.

Who is this edition intended for?

Anyone who loves collector's coins with genuine character, who appreciates modern themed coins, and who understands the special appeal of extremely limited mintages will find it hard to pass up this 2-ounce gold coin. The combination of an extraordinary design, the highest minting artistry and a very low mintage makes it a true rarity – and an enrichment to any thematically focused collection. Compared to classic bullion issues such as the Krugerrand or the Maple Leaf, this shark plays in a completely different league: here it is not mass production that counts, but the careful presentation of a unique design in the finest Proof quality. You can find further exclusive pieces in the gold coins category of our shop.

A note on taxation

Investment gold is exempt from VAT in Germany. Gains from sales are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year – a detail that should not go unmentioned, especially for high-quality collector's pieces of this calibre.
