With the Gold Ramses II Coin, you acquire one of the smallest yet finest editions in the range of gold coins. It belongs to the "History" series and combines an exceptionally powerful design with what truly matters in a physical gold investment: pure fine gold. The value of this edition is based primarily on the precious metal it contains – the design is the personal touch, the fine gold is the substance.

Ramses II – a ruler who made history

Ramses II, also known as "Ramses the Great," was the third Pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty and ruled the Egyptian Empire for around 66 years – an unprecedented reign for its time. At just 14 years old, his father Seti I appointed him prince regent, and about a decade later he ascended the throne himself. As a military commander, builder, and diplomat, he shaped an entire era: he had the new capital Pi-Ramesses built, created the Ramesseum and the massive temples of Abu Simbel, and is regarded as a co-author of one of the first recorded peace treaties in human history. The bust on this coin captures precisely this aura of power and permanence – a fitting symbol for a precious metal that does not lose value even over millennia.

Obverse and reverse in detail

The design side shows the portrait of the Pharaoh along with the inscription "RAMESSES II" as well as hieroglyphic signs within a cartouche symbol. The value side bears the coat of arms of the Republic of Chad – flanked by a lion and a goat, with the motto "UNITÉ · TRAVAIL · PROGRES" – as well as the inscriptions "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", the face value "3000 FRANCS CFA", and the fineness statement "999/1000 FINE GOLD". This clearly identifies the Ramses II coin as an official gold issue.

Why this gold issue is convincing as an investment

Gold is the oldest currency in the world and has been a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It possesses an intrinsic, globally recognized value, has historically never been worth zero, and protects against the gradual loss of purchasing power. This is precisely why this small edition, too, is more than just a nicely designed little card – it is genuine, physical investment gold.

• Building wealth in small steps: Small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune – ideal for getting started with physical gold investment.
• Protection against inflation and crises: As a tangible asset, gold has always served as an inflation hedge and for crisis protection in economically uncertain times.
• Preservation of value & passing on: Fine gold is durable, retains its shine across generations, and can be passed on as retirement provision or inheritance.
• High liquidity: Gold is tradable worldwide, can be resold at any time, and quickly converted into cash.

The personal occasion also has its place here: give a genuine investment rather than a mere gift for birthdays, christenings, or Christmas. Despite the historical design, what you acquire here is full-fledged investment gold – struck fine gold whose value is based on the gold price. Please note: profits from the sale of gold are generally tax-free provided the holding period is at least one year. With a mintage of just 50,000 pieces, the Gold Ramses II Coin from the Republic of Chad is a compact tangible asset that combines history and permanence in the smallest of spaces.
