The gold Guardian Angel coin combines a design of timeless grace with the substance that truly matters when buying: genuine fine gold. The angel motif is the personal touch – the real reason to buy lies in the precious metal it contains, whose value is based on the gold price. Anyone who purchases this coin is not acquiring a mere decorative item, but a small, handy piece of physical investment gold.

A design with history

The depicted putto originates from Raphael's "Sistine Madonna", a masterpiece from the early 16th century. The two contemplative little angels at the bottom edge of the painting have long since taken on a life of their own and are among the most reproduced art motifs in the world. On the reverse of this coin, one of these heavenly beings appears, embedded in delicately designed clouds – an image of peace and comfort. The obverse shows the coat of arms of Chad, flanked by a Capricorn and a lion, with the inscriptions "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", "3000 FRANCS CFA" and "999/1000 FINE GOLD". The design and official markings are finely executed, making the coin's small size a testament to the precision of the minting technique.

Small gold, big idea: building wealth in manageable steps

Physical gold has been a proven store of value for over 6,000 years and is considered the oldest currency in the world – not for nothing is it called the "money of God". It possesses intrinsic value, has never had a price of zero, and is recognized around the globe as a medium of exchange and payment. It is no coincidence that the world's central banks hold enormous gold reserves – a clear sign of the significance the precious metal holds within the financial system. Small units like this coin in particular lower the barrier to entry for physical gold investment. Those who buy regularly build up substance over the years that can add up to considerable wealth and be passed on across generations.

• Value preservation: Gold protects against loss of purchasing power and serves as a proven inflation hedge.
• Crisis protection: In uncertain times, gold offers reliable crisis protection against political and economic turbulence.
• Liquidity: Gold is tradable worldwide, highly liquid, and can be converted back into cash at any time.
• Scarcity: Supply is naturally limited – unlike paper money, which can be created at will, supporting long-term value stability.
• Tax advantage: Investment gold is exempt from VAT; profits from its sale are generally tax-free after a minimum holding period of one year.

By comparison: filigree small gold from Valcambi

At 1/1,000 oz, the Guardian Angel is among the smallest gold coins ever minted. Where classic bullion coins such as the Krugerrand or the Vienna Philharmonic come in full ounces, this format allows entry with a minimal capital outlay. The advantage is obvious: even with a small amount, you hold real, tangible gold in your hand. At the same time, the mintage of 50,000 pieces is manageable, and production by Valcambi guarantees consistently high minting quality. The decorative blister card with certificate keeps the Brilliant Uncirculated coin clean and secure.
