The true core is the fine gold it contains – the value of this coin is based primarily on its gold content and moves in line with the gold price.

A design straight out of a western

At the center is Billy the Kid – one of the most notorious gunslingers of the American West. The obverse shows him with a wide-brimmed hat and two drawn revolvers, his gaze fixed directly on the viewer. Between the gun barrels is the stylized lettering "WILD WEST" in typical western script. On the left and right, oil derricks rise up, labeled with the word "OIL" – a reference to the resource boom of that era. The reverse is dedicated to the head of state and bears the portrait of King Charles III, along with the country designation "Cook Islands", the face value and the year of minting. In this way, the edition combines narrative imagery with the clear mandatory details of an official coin.

Why small gold coins are so popular

Units like this one are particularly well suited to building up physical precious metal holdings step by step. Small amounts of gold add up over the years to considerable wealth – while remaining flexible. Gold has been considered a proven store of value for over 6,000 years, has never been worth zero, and is the oldest currency in the world. As a scarce commodity in demand worldwide, it retains its purchasing power, while paper currencies can lose value.

• Value preservation: physical gold as a solid building block for long-term wealth accumulation.
• High liquidity: tradable in divisible amounts at any time and easily converted back into cash.
• Proven hedge: gold coins serve as an inflation hedge and as solid crisis protection.
• Tax advantage: investment gold is generally exempt from VAT; capital gains are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

Minting quality and strict limitation

The coin is issued in the top quality Proof: in this elaborate Proof minting process, the matted design elements stand out in high contrast against the high-gloss mirrored surfaces, giving the relief a three-dimensional effect. With a very low mintage of only 5,000 pieces worldwide, the edition is strictly limited – the limited availability underscores its character as a special rarity and may support its potential for value appreciation if demand remains strong. The coin is delivered protected in a sturdy coin capsule.

Give investment gold as a gift – for any occasion

Whether for a birthday, a christening or Christmas: with this edition you are not simply giving a design as a gift, but real investment gold whose value is based on the gold price. Despite the personal occasion, the recipient receives a lasting asset made of fine gold that can be passed down through generations.

Fascinated by the Wild West design, convinced by the fine gold: a compact gold investment in Proof quality with a clearly limited mintage.
