A glimpse into the heart of the universe, struck in genuine precious metal: The Gold Black Hole Coin from the space series "Into Infinity – Fascinating Universe" brings one of the most mysterious phenomena of the cosmos to the smallest possible scale, right into your hand. But as spectacular as the design may be – the true substance of this issue is its fine gold. Here you are acquiring fully-fledged investment gold, whose value is tied to the gold price.

• Design: The reverse shows a dramatically modelled black hole with a spiral accretion disc in warm gold and yellow tones, surrounded by the inscription "BLACK HOLE". On the blister card, the visual theme continues with a reddish nebula, sparkling stars and the motto "INTO INFINITY – FASCINATING UNIVERSE" – a design with a distinctly scientific-astronomical character.

• Mintage: Limited worldwide to 50,000 pieces, delivered on a high-quality blister card with an integrated certificate of authenticity.

This gold issue combines an extraordinary theme with the enduring intrinsic value of the precious metal – a physical investment you can literally hold in your hands.

The design: a black hole as a window into the universe

A black hole forms when a massive star collapses in on itself, creating a singularity in spacetime – a place where the laws of physics as we know them reach their limits. Not even light can escape its immense gravitational pull. Black holes are the subject of intensive scientific research and have provided profound insights into the fundamental processes of the universe. It is precisely this fascination that the coin's design captures, with its characteristic spiral accretion disc drawn toward the centre.

The obverse bears the coat of arms of Chad, framed by the inscription "RÉPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", the face value "3000 FRANCS CFA", and the fineness "999/1000 FINE GOLD". In this way, the coin itself documents its origin, denomination and material quality.

Why physical investment gold?

Gold is humanity's oldest currency and, as a store of value, has outlasted every paper currency for over 6,000 years. It possesses intrinsic value, has been recognised worldwide as a means of payment and exchange, and has never once in its entire history been worth zero. Anyone looking to buy gold coins is choosing a tangible asset – independent of trust in state-printed fiat money, which is not without reason backed by enormous gold reserves even by central banks themselves.

• Value retention: The value of this gold coin is primarily based on its fine gold content and moves in line with the gold price.
• Inflation and crisis protection: Gold is regarded as a proven inflation hedge and serves as solid crisis protection against political and economic uncertainty in turbulent times.
• Building wealth in small steps: Small quantities of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune – a low-threshold entry point into physical gold investment.
• Tradability: Gold can be traded worldwide, is highly liquid, and can be sold again at any time.
• Tax advantage: Investment gold is generally exempt from VAT; profits from its sale are usually tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

Who this coin is suited for

The 1/1,000 oz issue is aimed at investors who wish to build up their precious metal holdings deliberately and in small units – as well as anyone who wants to pass on a genuine gold investment. On occasions such as birthdays, christenings or Christmas, this issue is not a mere decorative item but a lasting asset made of pure fine gold. The cosmic design provides the personal touch, while the gold it contains is the true substance.

Gold has been shining for thousands of years – and will never lose its lustre. With the Gold Black Hole Coin, you hold a piece of this timeless value in your hands, combined with one of the most fascinating designs in the universe.

Within the space series, this issue combines wonderfully with other designs such as the Milky Way. Step by step, this creates a thematically coherent series of small gold units from Valcambi – each one a fully-fledged piece of physical investment gold from the Republic of Chad.
