1/200 oz Gold Big Five Leopard Coin

1/200 oz Gold Big Five Leopard – minted fine gold that looks you in the eye

A leopard fixes its gaze on the viewer, its fur worked out in the finest detail, its expression calm yet powerful. However, the real argument for this coin is not the predator itself, but what it is made of: genuine, physical gold. The 1/200 oz Gold Big Five Leopard from the 2025 year of issue combines an iconic African animal design with the timeless substance of precious metal in the smallest of formats. Anyone who acquires this coin holds not a mere souvenir, but recognised investment gold whose value is determined primarily by the gold price.

The design: the leopard from Africa's Big Five

One side of the coin is dedicated entirely to the leopard. Expressive eyes, distinctive whiskers and the characteristic spotted pattern have been finely worked out, while polished and matte areas create a striking contrast. In the background, an acacia tree hints at the vast savannah, while at the lower edge the silhouettes of the remaining Big Five – lion, elephant, rhinoceros and buffalo – pass by. The opposite side shows the national emblem of Chad along with the inscriptions "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", "5000 FRANCS CFA" and "999/1000 FINE GOLD". As beautiful as the animal design is, it forms the personal touch – the true substance remains the fine gold it contains.

Gold Big Five: great impact in a small denomination

As part of the popular Gold Big Five series, this 1/200 ounce gold coin is aimed at everyone who values building wealth in small, manageable steps. Despite its low fine weight of just 0.16 g, the coin appears remarkably substantial with a diameter of 40.00 mm – the ultra-thin fine gold is thus shown off to particularly impressive effect, and it is delivered in a protective case. The strictly limited mintage of 5,000 pieces for the 2025 year of issue underscores the appeal of these gold coins. Those who already own larger ounce formats can use this coin to specifically supplement their physical gold with a particularly accessible unit; for beginners, this small ounce is the ideal first step into physical gold investment.

Why gold? Preserving value for millennia

Gold is the oldest currency in the world and has served as a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It possesses an inherent, intrinsic value, has never in its long history been worth zero, and reliably protects against loss of purchasing power. It is no coincidence that central banks are among the largest holders of gold in the world – a clear sign of trust in this scarce, non-reproducible precious metal. As a hedge against inflation and currency risks, physical gold is just as effective as it is as a tangible crisis hedge in turbulent times.

• tradable worldwide and can be sold again at any time – high liquidity
• exempt from VAT as investment gold
• capital gains are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year
• suitable for diversification and as long-term retirement provision across generations

Give the gift of genuine investment gold – whether for a christening, birthday or wedding. Small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune.

Whether as a solid building block for safeguarding your wealth or as a fully-fledged gold investment to give as a gift: the 1/200 oz Gold Big Five Leopard combines a strong, distinctive design with the reliability of a precious metal that has preserved its lustre for millennia – and will never lose it.
