Gold Moon Landing Coin

Gold Moon Landing Coin 1/1,000 oz – a century-defining moment in pure fine gold

On July 20, 1969, mankind set foot on the Moon for the very first time. This Gold Moon Landing Coin from the 2024 minting year captures precisely this moment – and casts it in genuine gold. The coin is issued by the Republic of Chad with a face value of 3,000 CFA francs. However, what matters is not the denomination but the substance: the value of this coin is based primarily on its fine gold content and moves with the gold price. Here you are purchasing full-fledged investment gold in miniature format – minted fine gold whose design provides the personal touch, while the precious metal itself is the actual reason for buying.

• Design: The reverse depicts the famous footprint left by Neil Armstrong in the lunar dust, inscribed with the date "20. JULY 1969". The obverse bears the coat of arms of Chad between the inscriptions "RÉPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", "3000 FRANCS CFA" and "999/1000 FINE GOLD". A design of rare symbolic power – the small step that became mankind's giant leap.
• Material & fineness: Struck from 999/1000 fine gold, i.e. 24 carat pure gold. The fine weight is 0.031 g, which corresponds to exactly 1/1,000 ounce. With a diameter of just 16.00 mm, it is a filigree piece of concentrated precious metal substance.
• Manufacturer: Minted at Valcambi in Switzerland – one of the world's most renowned refineries, known for the highest precision and certified quality.

Small amount of gold, big impact: investment gold for beginners

With this issue, you can enter physical gold investment with a small outlay. That is exactly the strength of such miniature mintages: they make it easy to build wealth in manageable steps. Small amounts of gold add up over the years into a considerable holding – and what the coin contains in fine gold remains constant. Gold is the oldest currency in the world, a proven store of value for more than 6,000 years, which has never fallen to zero because it possesses an inherent, intrinsic value. This mintage is part of our gold coins selection and follows in the long tradition of gold as a globally recognized medium of exchange and store of value.

"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." – a quote that embodies the spirit of this mintage: great value in a small format.

Why physical gold?

Physical gold is regarded as a proven inflation hedge and protects against loss of purchasing power when uncovered fiat money loses value. It is tradable worldwide, highly liquid, and can be converted back into cash at any time. It is not without reason that the world's central banks hold gold as a reserve. As crisis protection in politically and economically uncertain times, too, this precious metal has proven itself over generations – a value that can be passed down through generations.

Compact data and a fine comparison

The coin is delivered Brilliant Uncirculated (new condition) on a thematically designed blister card, which also serves as a certificate of authenticity. The worldwide mintage is limited to 50,000 pieces. Compared to larger investment units such as 1-oz coins or gold bars, this 3,000-franc Chad issue scores points through its low capital outlay and its expressive design – though, naturally, the premium per gram of fine gold is higher for such small units. Anyone wishing to give real investment gold as a gift – for example for a birthday, christening, or as an asset for the next generation – is handing over, with this mintage, not a mere memento but recognized fine gold with lasting value retention.
