With the 0.5 g Gold Velociraptor 2025, the popular “Prehistoric Life II” series reaches its sixth issue. This collector's coin combines a vividly designed motif with a clear intrinsic value derived from pure fine gold. What matters most, however, is the figure in the background: with a worldwide mintage of only 2,000 pieces, this issue ranks among the strictly limited mintings of the series – a true rarity, minted by the renowned Bavarian Main Mint in Germany.

A predatory dinosaur in the smallest of spaces – the design in detail

On a diameter of just 11.0 mm, the Bavarian Main Mint stages a complete prehistoric scene. A Velociraptor Mongoliensis chases a small prey animal, while a second predator lurks in front of a rugged mountain range. The fine relief work, which seems to come alive in the mirror-like shine of the Proof finish, is what makes this coin so appealing. The inscription on the obverse reads “Velociraptor Mongoliensis 75–71 Mio Years BC” along with the year of issue 2025. The reverse features the state emblem of the Republic of the Congo with a leopard head, along with the motto “Justice – Travail – Paix,” the face value of 100 Francs, and the specification 0.5 g Au 999.9. The reeded edge rounds off the high-quality appearance. Those familiar with the series will know that other designs are also issued as 1-ounce silver coins and in further formats – however, this small gold edition is particularly sought after due to its limited mintage.

Why the fine gold content is what matters most here

As striking as the design may be, the real reason to buy is just as clear: you are acquiring full-fledged investment gold. The value of this coin is based primarily on its fine gold content and moves in line with the gold price. Gold is the world's oldest currency and has served as a reliable store of value for over 6,000 years – a precious metal with intrinsic value that is recognized worldwide, tradable at any time, and easily resold. The design is the personal touch, the fine gold is the substance.

• Value preservation: minted fine gold, whose value is based on the gold price
• Building wealth in small steps: small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune
• High liquidity: can be converted back into cash at any time without complications
• Tax advantage: investment gold is traded free of VAT; after a minimum holding period of one year, capital gains are generally tax-free

Despite the fascinating Velociraptor design, what you are acquiring here is not a mere souvenir but recognized investment gold – minted fine gold 999.9 in Proof quality.

This small gold issue is also a fine way to give a gift of genuine investment gold – for example, for a christening, birthday, or Christmas. What is given here is not a perishable item, but a lasting asset. Anyone who appreciates other gold coins with limited mintages will find this issue from the “Prehistoric Life II” series to be an equally appealing and substantial addition.
