Gold Football World Champion 1990 Coin

Gold Football World Champion 1990 – a piece of sporting history in pure fine gold

• Design: Two footballers locked in a gripping duel, framed like a golden film strip – above it the inscription "DEUTSCHE EINHEIT" (German Unity), below it "FUSSBALLWELTMEISTER 1990" (Football World Champion 1990). A design that captures the shining hour of the summer of 1990 in raised minting.
• Material / Fineness: First-class fine gold with a fineness of 999/1000. The small rectangular coin accounts for 1/1000 ounce, which corresponds to around 0.031 g of pure gold – clearly indicated as "999 FINE GOLD 1/1000 oz".
• Manufacturer: Minted by the renowned Swiss traditional house Valcambi, one of the world's leading precious metal mints.
• Country of issue & face value: Official legal tender of the Republic of Chad with a face value of 3,000 CFA francs.
• Condition: Brilliant Uncirculated, protected in a clear capsule and delivered in a high-quality presentation case.

Italy, 1990. A World Cup summer that has burned itself into the collective memory. This small, rectangular gold coin captures exactly this moment – and combines it with what truly matters in a physical gold investment: genuine, minted fine gold.

Investment gold with a personal touch

The football design is the emotional highlight of this coin. But the substance – and the actual reason to acquire it – is the gold it contains. Its value is measured primarily by its fine gold content and moves in line with the gold price. Whoever purchases this coin is not buying a mere souvenir, but full-fledged investment gold: physical, tangible, and tradable worldwide.

Small units like this 1/1000 oz coin are particularly well suited for building up precious metal holdings step by step. Small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune – without the need for large lump sums. And because physical gold can be sold again at any time, you remain flexible: its high liquidity allows you to quickly convert its value back into cash whenever needed.

Despite the special football occasion, what you are acquiring here is full-fledged investment gold – minted fine gold whose value is based on the gold price.

As a gift, too, this edition serves a dual purpose: for a birthday, a celebration, or a sporting anniversary, give not a fleeting trinket, but a genuine gold investment that combines the emotional moment with lasting tangible value.

Design and craftsmanship in detail

The obverse shows two football players in dynamic action – one controlling the ball, the other going in for the tackle. The frame, styled like a historic film strip, presents the scene like a freeze-frame and evokes the title win that is inseparably linked to the year of German Unity. The reverse bears the national coat of arms of the Republic of Chad, flanked by the two heraldic animals, the country's name "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", and the face value. In this way, this small piece of precious metal combines a sporting design with the official character of a state-issued coin.

Compact, yet full-fledged

Rectangular formats like this one are especially popular among small gold coins: they take up little space in the presentation case, display the design prominently, and are easy to store. Compared to classic round bullion coins such as the Krugerrand or the Maple Leaf, this edition stands out with a very low entry price – ideal for those wishing to build up gold holdings in manageable units.

Why gold? Time-tested value preservation

Gold is the oldest currency in the world and has been a reliable store of value for over 6,000 years. It has never had a value of zero, because it possesses an inherent, intrinsic value. While paper money can be multiplied by central banks, the supply of gold is naturally scarce – a key reason for its long-term value stability. It is no coincidence that central banks are among the largest holders of gold in the world.

• Inflation hedge: As a proven inflation hedge, gold preserves your purchasing power when confidence in fiat money wanes.
• Crisis protection: In uncertain times, gold serves as solid crisis protection against political and economic upheavals.
• Value preservation across generations: Gold has shone for thousands of years and never loses its lustre – an asset that can be passed down through generations.

There is also a tax advantage: profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. Secure yourself a handy piece of fine gold with the Gold Football World Champion 1990 coin, which combines sporting history with the timeless investment value of the yellow metal in a Brilliant Uncirculated coin.
