1/1.000 ounce fine gold
Luck has its signs.
1/1.000 ounce fine gold, design side
On New Year cards around 1900, the wish was already in the picture: four-leaf clovers, ladybirds, horseshoes. These are the signs our pieces carry in gold and silver. This coin does not just carry its sign, it takes its shape.
The horseshoe
Whoever finds one is in luck.
The DWDS, the digital dictionary of the German language, calls the horseshoe a symbol of luck. Its example: hanging a found horseshoe above the door.
“Whoever finds a horseshoe or a piece of one has luck.”
This coin itself has the shape of a horseshoe, with a small clover.
The four-leaf clover
Four leaves, where three usually grow.
Clover normally has three leaflets, four only in very rare cases. The Botanic Gardens of the University of Bonn call the four-leaf clover a rare exception.
The disposition lies in the genes, as a plant breeder at the University of Georgia found. Whether the fourth leaf actually grows also depends on light and temperature.
The German dictionary Duden calls it Glücksklee: clover with an exceptionally four-part leaf, regarded as a lucky charm. The dictionary of the Brothers Grimm also lists the four-leaf clover as a Glücksblatt, a leaf of luck.
The lucky clover sold in pots, by the way, is a wood sorrel from southern Mexico that naturally has four leaves. It came to Europe in the 19th century.
“A four-leaf clover is a rarity. Lucky is the person who happens to find one.”
This coin carries a small clover in its horseshoe.
The design
The sign as a shape.
The coin has the shape of a horseshoe, with a small four-leaf clover.
Luck to give
A wish you keep.
At the turn of the year people give lucky charms. The New Year lucky charms we know today came about in the 19th century.
Many people do not want to throw their lucky charms away or pass them on, for fear the luck might go with them.
Whether lucky charms really bring luck may be left open, writes the Volkskundemuseum Wien. And it names what they are meant to say:
“Whoever gives a lucky charm wants to say: I care about you.”
A gift for a birth or the new year, for instance: the coin comes in a case.

Lucky Charm Horseshoe Gold Coin – 1/1,000 oz Fine Gold from the Republic of Chad
The Lucky Charm Horseshoe Gold Coin combines a charming design with what truly matters in every gold investment: pure fine gold. Anyone investing in gold acquires here a compact, physical piece of precious metal from the "Symbolism" issue series – small in format, but genuine in substance.
- Design: The coin itself is struck in the shape of a horseshoe and bears a finely detailed four-leaf clover – two symbols that, across cultures and centuries, stand for good fortune. The reverse shows the national coat of arms of the Republic of Chad with an ibex and a lion, the motto "Unité · Travail · Progrès", and the face value "3000 Francs CFA".
- Material / Fineness: Struck in the purest fine gold with a fineness of 999/1,000, equivalent to 24 karat. The fine weight is 0.031 g, corresponding exactly to a denomination of 1/1,000 ounce.
- Mint: Produced by the traditional Swiss mint Valcambi, renowned worldwide for the highest precision and first-class precious metal quality.
- Further key facts: Year of issue 2025, diameter 16 mm, strictly limited mintage of 50,000 pieces, Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, protected in a presentation case.
Small fine gold, great substance
As endearing as the horseshoe and clover design may be, the real reason to buy lies in the precious metal itself. The value of this coin is based primarily on the fine gold it contains and develops in line with the gold price. This means the coin is not merely a motif in golden color, but genuine, return-oriented investment gold in a particularly fine denomination. The design is the personal touch, the fine gold the lasting substance.
It is precisely the small size that makes getting started easy. You can build up physical wealth in manageable steps without having to commit a large sum all at once. Small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable holding – and gold has been regarded as a proven store of value for over 6,000 years, never once reaching a value of zero.
Comparison: small gold coin or mini bar?
Anyone investing in gold in small units often chooses between minted small gold coins and mini bars. The particular appeal of this Chadian issue lies in its horseshoe-shaped contour and its official face value as legal tender – features that a classic bar does not offer. A mini bar, on the other hand, scores with an even simpler design. Both paths lead to the same core: physical, globally tradable fine gold that can be sold again at any time. With minted small coins, the premium per gram is production-related and higher than with large units – in return, you receive a particularly accessible, divisible format.
Why gold serves as a foundation
Gold is the oldest currency in the world and continues to be recognized and traded around the globe to this day. It has intrinsic value, is a scarce commodity with limited supply, and can be converted back into cash at any time. This high liquidity makes even small gold coins a flexible building block for wealth protection.
- Preservation of value: Gold protects against loss of purchasing power and serves as an inflation hedge when confidence in paper money wanes.
- Crisis protection: In turbulent times, gold has proven itself as crisis protection and a stable anchor.
- Diversification: Gold shows low correlation with other asset classes, contributing to diversification within a portfolio.
- Generations: Physical gold retains its properties permanently and can easily be passed down through generations.
It is not without reason that central banks around the world hold vast gold reserves – a clear sign of the trust placed in this precious metal, while their own fiat currencies steadily lose purchasing power. An additional advantage for investors: profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.
Give the gift of a gold investment
Whether for a birth, christening, birthday, or the turn of the year: with this coin you are not giving a fleeting present, but a genuine asset. The appealing "FOR YOU" presentation makes the handover a special moment, yet what truly matters remains the substance – minted fine gold whose value is tied to the gold price. In this way, you combine a personal occasion with the lasting benefit of a physical gold investment that will still hold value for the recipient many years from now.
Despite the personal occasion, what you are acquiring here is full-fledged investment gold: minted fine gold from Valcambi, whose value is tied to the gold price.
