Gold World of Bees Set (Mintage: 5,000)

Gold World of Bees Set – 10 x 1/1,000 oz Fine Gold as a Small Gold Investment

Each gold coin weighs 1/1,000 ounce, measures just 16 millimeters in diameter, and has a fineness of 999/1000. Together, the set contains around 0.3 g of fine gold – spread across ten artistic designs, safely stored and delivered in a protective blister card.

The Design: Ten Bees in Gold

Bees secure a large share of our food supply – and it is precisely to them that this small collection is dedicated. From the familiar design of the honeybee (Apis mellifera) to the vividly blue carpenter bee (Xylocopa caerulea) and the metallic green shimmering orchid bee (Euglossini), all the way to the long-horned Eucera longicornis: each gold coin depicts a different species. The artistic coloring vividly highlights the natural colors, while finely engraved honeycombs and floral ornaments form the background. The design is the personal touch of this edition – but the true substance remains, as ever, the fine gold.

Small Quantity, Real Investment Gold

Keep in mind: despite the artistic bee design, what you hold here is not mere decoration but minted fine gold, whose value is tied to the gold price. Gold is the oldest currency in the world, a proven store of value for over 6,000 years, and has never had a value of zero. Those who start out in small steps build up physical wealth in a predictable way over the years – tradable worldwide at any time and, thanks to high liquidity, always resalable.

Gold protects against loss of purchasing power: while paper money can lose value, physical fine gold retains its intrinsic worth.

This makes the set a solid building block for long-term wealth accumulation, and many investors rely on it as an inflation hedge as well as tangible crisis protection. Not least, central banks themselves rely on gold – a clear signal of the precious metal's enduring status. Another advantage: profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

Manufacturer Valcambi and the Art & Culture Series

The set is minted by Valcambi, a Swiss mint founded in 1961 with a worldwide reputation for the highest precision and purity. The series is issued by the Republic of Chad as part of the Art & Culture series. Similar micro-gold editions – for example in the 1/500 oz format – do exist from various issuing countries, but the combination of ten colorfully designed bees, the clear limitation, and Valcambi's craftsmanship makes this edition a particularly appealing way to acquire genuine investment gold in a small denomination. Anyone wishing to give physical fine gold as a gift – for instance on a special personal occasion – is not handing over a trifle here, but a genuine gold asset.
