• Very rare collector's coin: A must-have for every collector and literature enthusiast

The new German 100 Euro gold coin series is titled Masterpieces of German Literature and focuses on literary works of central importance to German culture. The series opener of this eight-part collection is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's drama Faust — a literary masterpiece now immortalised in gold.

The coin was struck from half an ounce of 99.99% pure gold in Mint State (MS) quality and is a genuine collector's coin. The design was created by artist Michael Otto and presents the heads of the two protagonists, Dr. Heinrich Faust and Mephisto, arranged in a Janus-faced composition. Between the two heads is a quill, symbolising both literary writing and the characteristic pact with the devil between Faust and Mephisto.

A Piece of German Literary History You Can Hold in Your Hands

The pact between the scholar Faust and the devil Mephisto forms the central element of Goethe's tragedy, first published in 1808 and considered one of the most significant works of German literature. The design is completed by the inscription "FAUST". The reverse features the Federal Eagle, the twelve European stars, the face value, the year of issue, the inscription "BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND" and the mint mark "A" — Hamburg. The 100 Euro gold coin is delivered in its original case including a certificate of authenticity.

Why Gold?

Gold has intrinsic value and has been a stable and proven store of value for over 6,000 years. Profits from the sale of gold coins are generally tax-free if the holding period is at least one year. Gold protects you against loss of purchasing power and is a scarce commodity with a limited supply, leading to long-term value stability. Gold offers protection against political and economic crises and can serve as a long-term retirement provision.
