Gold Sandro Botticelli Primavera Coin

Gold Botticelli "Primavera": Renaissance Art in Purest Fine Gold

Some designs endure for centuries – and some precious metals outlast them all. The Gold Sandro Botticelli Primavera coin brings both together: one of the most famous paintings of the Italian Renaissance, minted in genuine fine gold. Issued by the Republic of Chad and produced by the traditional Swiss house Valcambi, this 2024 edition is a small but fully-fledged gold investment – substance rather than mere aesthetics.

• Design: The reverse features Botticelli's masterpiece "Primavera" (Spring), created around 1480. It depicts a mythological spring scene with Venus at the center, flanked by the Three Graces, the god Mercury, and dancing floral figures in a dark orange grove – on the right, Zephyrus abducts the nymph Chloris, who transforms into Flora. A delicate work of art serving as an allegory of love, fertility, and the changing of the seasons.
• Material & Fineness: Struck from pure fine gold with a fineness of 999/1000. The fine weight is 0.031 g, equivalent to 1/1,000 ounce – in a compact rectangular format of 11 x 15.4 mm.
• Manufacturer: Produced by the world-renowned Swiss mint Valcambi, known for its exceptional precision and minting quality.

This coin is part of the Botticelli series, which honors great works of art history in fine gold – from the "Birth of Venus" to the "Primavera". The design is the personal touch. The real reason to buy, however, is the gold it contains.

Obverse: The Coat of Arms of Chad

The obverse bears the national coat of arms of the Republic of Chad, framed by the inscriptions "RÉPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD" for the issuing country, "3000 FRANCS CFA" as the face value, and "999/1000 FINE GOLD" for the fineness. The face value of 3,000 francs makes the coin an official legal tender and underscores its status as a minted issue – not a mere token. It is delivered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition as new merchandise on a decorative blister card that displays the complete painting and presents the small gold coin at its center.

Investment Gold in Small Format – Building Wealth Step by Step

Despite its artistic design, what you are acquiring here is fully-fledged investment gold: the value of this coin is based primarily on its fine gold content and moves in line with the gold price. Small units in particular are excellent for building wealth in manageable steps. Small quantities of gold add up over the years to a considerable value – and can be traded and resold worldwide at any time.

Gold is humanity's oldest currency and has outlasted every paper currency. It possesses intrinsic value, has never been worth zero, and protects against loss of purchasing power. As a proven inflation hedge and reliable crisis protection, this precious metal has served as a stable store of value for over 6,000 years. It is not without reason that central banks worldwide hold gold as a reserve – a clear signal of confidence in this scarce, limited-availability asset.

Another advantage: physical gold is exempt from VAT, and profits from its sale are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. With a limited mintage of 50,000 pieces, this edition joins the sought-after small gold coin issues from Chad.

Give the gift of genuine investment gold for a birthday, wedding, or christening – or lay the foundation for your own physical gold holdings with this Botticelli coin. What is gifted here is not a fleeting object, but a lasting asset.
