With this coin, you hold one of the world's most famous works of art in your hand – and at the same time, full-fledged gold. The real reason to buy is not the image, but the fine gold it contains, whose value is directly linked to the gold price. The design provides the personal touch, but the substance is minted precious metal. Within the gold coins from the "Art & Culture" series, this edition combines artistic beauty with the sober value of the precious metal.

The design: Klimt's Golden Adele

The portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I was created in 1907, when Gustav Klimt was at the zenith of his golden period. Inspired by the golden mosaics in Ravenna, he covered the surface with gold leaf and created a flat, almost weightless style – in the same breath as his famous work "The Kiss". Adele Bloch-Bauer, hostess of a Viennese salon, is the only person Klimt portrayed twice.

The turbulent history of the original is almost as fascinating as the painting itself: in 2006 it changed hands for a reported 135 million US dollars and has since been counted among the most expensive works in art history. Today the "Woman in Gold" can be seen at the Neue Galerie in New York. This gold coin transfers this opulent visual language into a handy, rectangular format.

The obverse shows the coat of arms of Chad with the inscriptions "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", "3000 FRANCS CFA" and "999/1000 FINE GOLD". The reverse bears the iconic masterpiece along with the inscription "GUSTAV KLIMT" – a modern homage to one of the most important painters of Viennese Modernism.

Why gold is a wise choice

Gold is the oldest currency in the world and has been a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It has never had a value of zero, possesses intrinsic value, and is recognized worldwide as a means of payment and exchange. As a scarce good with limited supply, it protects against loss of purchasing power and serves many investors as an inflation hedge and as crisis protection in uncertain times.

• Value preservation: a physical tangible asset whose value is tied to the gold price and preserves wealth across generations.
• Building wealth in small steps: small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune.
• High liquidity: tradable and resalable worldwide at any time, easily converted into cash.
• Tax advantage: profits from the sale of gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

In this way, a design of timeless beauty becomes a well-considered investment product. Despite its artistic character, what you are acquiring here is a genuine gold investment – minted fine gold that never loses its shine over the millennia. And if you wish to give a genuine investment as a gift, for example for a christening, birthday, or wedding, you are not presenting a mere souvenir, but recognized investment gold of lasting substance.
