The Gold African Springbok coin brings African wilderness and the substance of pure gold into a format that barely covers a fingertip – and yet remains full-fledged investment gold. Set into the coincard is a tiny, finely engraved gold coin on which the springbok gazes back at you head-on: intricately detailed down to the curved horns, with the lettering "SPRINGBOK" beneath. Despite the personal occasion for which such an edition is often given as a gift, what you are acquiring here is minted fine gold whose value is tied to the gold price – not a mere keepsake, but recognised physical investment gold.

A design with African character

The African springbok is one of the continent's most well-known animal motifs and has adorned popular issues from Gabon for years. The obverse of the embedded gold coin shows the coat of arms of the République Gabonaise together with the face value of 1000 CFA Francs, while the reverse features the powerful springbok head. The coincard itself stages the animal naturalistically in the savannah – a warm, golden-gleaming contrast to the black silhouettes of African wildlife along the lower edge. In this way, the Gabon Springbok edition combines artistic design with the tangible substance of fine gold.

Why small gold coins are convincing

These gold coins from the Symbolik series are excellently suited for building wealth in small steps. Anyone who regularly acquires small amounts of gold accumulates a considerable holding over the years – tradable and resalable at any time. Gold is the oldest currency in the world and, as a store of value, has outlasted all paper currencies for over 6,000 years. Its value has never been zero, because gold carries an inherent, intrinsic value within itself.

• Physical tangible asset with high liquidity – gold can easily be converted into cash worldwide.
• Proven inflation hedge and reliable crisis protection when confidence in fiat money fluctuates.
• Limited supply: gold is a scarce commodity, which supports its long-term value stability.
• Gold is VAT-exempt and can be passed down through generations.

Would you like to give genuine investment gold as a gift for a birthday, christening or wedding? With the Gold African Springbok, you hand over an asset instead of a fleeting gift – the entry point into physical gold investment in the most convenient of all formats. A further advantage: profits from the sale of gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. Last but not least, the world's central banks hold gold as a reserve – a clear signal of the trust this precious metal has enjoyed since time immemorial.
