Purest gold, captured in an ultra-thin minting: the 1/200 oz Gold Big Five Rhinoceros coin brings genuine fine gold into your possession in one of the smallest formats available. Despite its tiny weight of 1/200 ounce, the coin measures an impressive 40 millimeters in diameter – giving the design plenty of room and lending the minting a remarkable sense of depth. The substance and reason for purchase here is clearly the fine gold content, whose value tracks the gold price. The rhinoceros provides the personal touch.

The Design – A Giant of the African Savanna

The obverse is entirely dedicated to the rhinoceros. Depicted in profile, the massive animal fills the center of the minting. Fine, artfully rendered lines recreate the animal's typical, wrinkled skin texture; the distinctive horn stands out in relief. To the right, an acacia tree hints at the vastness of the savanna, while along the lower edge the silhouettes of the remaining Big Five – elephant, lion, buffalo, and leopard – march across the coin. Vertically, the inscription "BIG FIVE" is displayed, complemented by the notation "999 FINE GOLD". A mirror-polished, dark shimmering background combined with matte relief areas creates a high-contrast, almost three-dimensional appearance in top minting quality.

The reverse shows the national coat of arms of the Republic of Chad, flanked by a goat and a lion, along with the inscription "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", the face value "5000 FRANCS CFA", and the fineness "999/1000 FINE GOLD". The rhinoceros is part of the popular "Animals of the Land" series, which honors Africa's five great wild animals one by one in fine gold.

Material, Fineness, and Craftsmanship

With a fineness of 999/1000, the coin consists of nearly pure gold. The Swiss refiner Valcambi is one of the world's leading names in the industry and stands for the utmost precision – every detail of the rhinoceros is cleanly struck despite the delicate format. The coin is supplied in Brilliant Uncirculated condition (year of issue 2025, brand new) and protected in a high-quality case. This ensures the shine of the fine gold is preserved permanently – for gold does not lose its luster even over thousands of years.

Investment Gold in a Small Format – Start Small, Think Big

This small gold coin is not a mere souvenir but full-fledged investment gold: its value rests on the fine gold it contains and moves in line with the gold price. Formats such as 1/200 ounce are particularly well suited for building wealth in small, manageable steps. Small amounts of gold add up over the years into a considerable holding – a principle that has always worked. After all, gold is the oldest currency in the world, a scarce commodity with limited supply, and a proven store of value for over 6,000 years.

Gold has never had a value of zero – it possesses an intrinsic, globally recognized value and can be traded at any time.

As a physical precious metal, gold serves to protect against loss of purchasing power and currency risks, and serves many investors as crisis protection. The larger sibling of small silver is also highly liquid and can be quickly resold if needed. Another advantage: profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

For Investors – and as a Gold Investment to Give as a Gift

Whether as an entry point into physical gold investment, as a building block for your own gold coin reserve, or as a gift of genuine investment gold for a birthday, christening, or Christmas: with the 1/200 oz Gold Big Five Rhinoceros, you acquire a compact asset in demand worldwide. Those who collect the entire "Animals of the Land" series gradually bring together all five wild animals of Africa in pure fine gold – a wilderness design on the outside, real gold value at the core.
