With the 1/200 oz Gold Jean-Michel Basquiat 2026, you acquire physical investment gold in a particularly compact form. The value of this coin is based primarily on the fine gold it contains and moves in line with the gold price – the portrait provides the personal touch, but the precious metal remains the substance. Anyone looking to enter physical gold investment or to build up their wealth in small steps will find in this edition from our gold coins category a convenient building block that can be traded and resold worldwide at any time.

The design: an icon of art in fine gold

At the center of the coin is an intricately sculpted portrait of Jean-Michel Basquiat: a wide-brimmed hat, curly hair, and an open, warm smile. The template comes from photographer Lee Jaffe, whose copyright notice "PHOTO © LEE JAFFE" is finely embossed next to the shirt collar. On the left, the inscription "JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT" runs along the edge, while the top right bears the weight designation "1/200 OZ FINE GOLD". The reverse carries the face value and the issuing country "REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA". The reeded edge rounds off the high-quality appearance.

Technical data & first-class minting quality

The small coin measures just 14.00 mm in diameter and weighs 0.16 g – yet it is crafted from the purest fine gold with a fineness of 999.9/1,000. It is delivered protected in a coincard. The minting is executed in the premier quality Proof: the mirror-polished background and the matte-finished design elements create the high-contrast depth effect for which Proof quality is prized. Each piece is manufactured with the utmost care.

Investment gold tied to the gold price

Gold is humanity's oldest currency and has served as a reliable store of value for over 6,000 years – it possesses intrinsic value and has never in its history been worth zero. This is precisely why investors value physical gold as protection against loss of purchasing power, using it as an inflation hedge as well as crisis protection. Another advantage: gold is exempt from VAT, and this edition is expressly offered tax-free. After a holding period of at least one year, any profit from a sale is generally tax-free. Whether given as a genuine investment gold gift for a christening, birthday, or Christmas, its character remains the same: you are giving a real asset, not a mere ornament.

Despite its personal design, what you acquire here is full-fledged investment gold – minted fine gold whose value tracks the gold price and can accumulate into a considerable holding over the years.

Strict limitation with value appreciation potential

This edition is strictly limited: with a mintage of only 2,000 pieces, it is a sought-after collector's coin. When such a limited, globally restricted number of pieces meets sustained demand, notable value appreciation potential can arise, potentially exceeding the pure fine gold value. Secure your piece of the 1/200 oz Gold Jean-Michel Basquiat 2026 while the low mintage lasts.
