The Design: Spitzweg's Sunday Walk

Carl Spitzweg (1808–1885) is among the most beloved German painters of the 19th century. With subtle humor and a fond eye for everyday life, he created images that still move viewers today. "The Sunday Walk" is one of his best-known works and celebrates the carefree bourgeois life of the Biedermeier period. Onto the tiny surface of this fine gold minted piece, Valcambi transfers the scene with astonishing detail – from the parasol to the swaying ears of grain in the cornfield.

The obverse bears the coat of arms of the Republic of Chad, flanked by an ibex and a lion, along with the inscriptions "RÉPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD" for the issuing country, "3000 FRANCS CFA" for the face value, and "999/1000 FINE GOLD" for the fineness. As official legal tender, the coin thus carries state-guaranteed status.

Why Gold Is a Wise Foundation

Gold is humanity's oldest currency and has served as a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It possesses intrinsic value, has never been worth zero throughout its entire history, and is recognized worldwide as a medium of exchange. These very qualities make physical gold a reliable foundation:

• Protection of purchasing power and proven inflation hedge when confidence in paper money wanes.
• Reliable crisis protection in politically and economically turbulent times.
• A scarce good with limited supply – one reason for its long-term value stability.
• High liquidity: gold can be traded worldwide and converted back into cash at any time.
• Profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

It is not without reason that central banks around the globe hold vast gold reserves to stabilize their financial systems. What serves the most powerful institutions as a safeguard is also available to private investors with this issue – on a smaller scale, but plannable step by step.

Genuine Investment Gold – Also a Wonderful Gift

Whether for a birthday, christening, or another personal occasion: giving this coin away is no small gesture, but a genuine asset made of pure fine gold. Small amounts of gold add up over the years into a substantial holding and can be passed down through generations. In this way, you combine an artful homage to Carl Spitzweg with the enduring value of precious metal – an entry into physical gold investment that also brings joy.
