A design with character

The front of the coincard depicts the moth true to life: it rests on pale blossoms, its dark, cream-striped forewings resembling a tent roof above the fiery orange-red, black-spotted hindwings. On the embedded gold coin itself, the butterfly is finely rendered in relief, framed by delicate plant motifs and the inscription "Jersey Tiger". The reverse shows the coat of arms of the Republic of Chad along with the inscriptions "République du Tchad", "999/1000 Fine Gold" and the face value "3000 Francs CFA". This small gold coin joins the popular wildlife series, in which each design captures its own nature theme.

Why small amounts of gold make so much sense

Even the smallest piece of fine gold is fully-fledged investment gold. Gold coins like this one are ideal for building up a precious metals portfolio step by step – every coin acquired adds up over the years. Gold is the oldest currency in the world, a proven store of value for over 6,000 years, and has never been worth zero, as it carries an inherent value of its own.

• Value preservation: Gold protects your purchasing power and has always served as a reliable inflation hedge.
• Crisis-proof: In turbulent times, physical gold is a proven form of crisis protection – independent of banks and paper money.
• Liquid & tradable worldwide: Gold is recognised as currency across the globe and can be sold at any time.
• Tax-attractive: Investment gold is exempt from VAT; profits from its sale are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

Investment gold with a personal touch

Of course, this gold coin can also be given as a gift for a special occasion – a christening, a birthday, or Christmas. But what's being given here is more than just a charming design – it's a genuine asset: minted fine gold, whose value is determined by the gold price. Despite the lovingly designed moth, what you are acquiring is fully-fledged investment gold – the substantial basis remains the pure gold within the card.

Gold is the big brother of little silver: scarce, enduring and coveted worldwide. With this 1/1,000-ounce coin, you hold a genuine building block of this timeless store of value in your hand.
