Two legends, one case: This duo combines the Gold Krugerrand "200 Years of Paul Kruger" from 2025 with the world premiere "Kaiser Wilhelm II" from 2026. Both coins each weigh half an ounce and carry their own Privy Mark – a tiny but powerful minting mark that makes each edition unmistakable and especially sought after by collectors. In the finest of all qualities, Proof, craftsmanship and history are reflected at once.

Crisis protection you can hold in your hand – security that fits in your palm

In uncertain times, what matters is what is tangible. Physical gold is the oldest currency in the world and a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It has never had a value of zero, because it possesses an inherent, intrinsic value – and thus protects against loss of purchasing power when confidence in fiat money wavers. Especially small denominations in gold and silver are popular products for various emergency situations at home or abroad. They can easily be carried in a wallet while travelling without attracting attention, and serve worldwide as a recognised, highly liquid medium of exchange.

Half an ounce is the ideal size here: valuable enough for serious wealth building, yet divisible and flexible to use. Anyone wishing to broadly safeguard their assets deliberately combines such units – protection against different crises does not arise from a single large piece, but from manageable units that can be sold at any time.

Two designs that made history

The Privy Mark "200 Years of Paul Kruger" honours the statesman born in 1825 and bears the year 1825. The 2026 edition, with the year 1896, refers to the famous Kruger telegram, with which Kaiser Wilhelm II congratulated President Paul Kruger at the time. This marks the first time in the history of the Krugerrand that a German design adorns the world's most famous gold coin – a bridge between Germany and South Africa, rendered in radiant fine gold.

Why the Krugerrand?

Since 1967, the Krugerrand has been the epitome of the bullion coin. The alloy of 22-carat gold and copper makes it more robust than many fine gold coins and gives it its unmistakable, warm reddish colour. As a gold coin, it enjoys the highest recognition and liquidity worldwide – a decisive advantage when speed is of the essence.

Gold has been shining for thousands of years – and will never lose its shine. It is not without reason that the world's central banks hold gold as a reserve.

Tax advantage & wealth preservation

Investment gold is exempt from VAT in Germany. Profits from the sale of gold are also generally tax-free, provided the holding period is at least one year. Thus, this duo combines collector's joy with substance: it is suitable as a long-term retirement provision and as wealth that can be safely passed down from generation to generation.
