Gold First All-German Parliamentary Election Coin

Gold “First All-German Parliamentary Election” – minted fine gold from the Republic of Chad

A historic moment, captured in pure Gold: this rectangular minting commemorates the first all-German parliamentary election of 2 December 1990 – and at the same time represents tangible, return-oriented investment gold made of 999 fine gold. The actual reason to buy lies in the precious metal it contains, whose value is based on the gold price. The historic design gives the piece its personal touch, while the gold itself provides the substance.

• Design: Within a striking film-strip frame, the obverse shows the seat distribution of the 12th German Bundestag – CDU/CSU 319, SPD 239, FDP 79, PDS 17 and B90/Greens 8, out of a total of 662 seats – inscribed with “Deutsche Einheit” (German Unity) and dated 02.12.1990. A vivid snapshot of German post-war history, finely relieved and sculpturally rendered.
• Material / Fineness: Minted in 999/1000 fine gold. The fine weight is approximately 0.031 grams, corresponding exactly to 1/1,000 ounce – the smallest meaningful gold unit, yet with full purity.
• Manufacturer: Produced by the renowned Swiss refinery Valcambi, valued worldwide for its first-class minting quality.
• Country of issue & face value: Official issue of the Republic of Chad (Republic of Tschad) with a face value of 3,000 CFA francs.
• Scope of delivery: Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) new item, capsuled and presented in an elegant case – protected and stored in a dignified manner.

German history, captured in genuine fine gold

The first free all-German election was a milestone: for the first time since 1932, the whole of Germany voted freely on its parliament once again. This issue captures exactly this moment and makes it tangible in the truest sense – as pure gold you can hold in your hand. The reverse bears the coat of arms of the Republic of Chad with its characteristic lion and goat, along with the inscriptions “Republique du Tchad” and “999 Fine Gold 1/1000 oz”. In this way, the piece combines German remembrance culture with an official international gold minting.

Within the gold coins category, the small issues from Chad occupy a special place: they allow entry into physical gold in manageable steps. Gold coins from Chad in the 1/1,000 ounce denomination are produced by Valcambi to a consistently high standard and, thanks to their clear fineness, are easily classified worldwide.

Why physical gold is the substance

Gold is the oldest currency in the world and has been a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It possesses an inherent, intrinsic value – gold has never had a price of zero and will never lose its shine. While fiat money can be created at will by central banks, the supply of gold is naturally limited. It is precisely this scarcity that contributes to long-term value stability. It is no coincidence that central banks themselves are among the largest gold holders in the world.

• Value preservation: Gold protects against loss of purchasing power and serves as a proven inflation hedge.
• Crisis-resistant: In turbulent times, this precious metal has proven itself as crisis protection against political and economic uncertainties.
• Liquid & tradable: Physical gold is recognized worldwide, can be resold at any time, and can be quickly converted into cash.
• Wealth across generations: Gold is durable, retains its properties, and is well suited for building wealth in small increments.

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. Small amounts of gold like this add up over the years – minting by minting, gram by gram – into a considerable fortune.

Despite the historic occasion, what you are acquiring here is full-fledged investment gold: minted fine gold from the Republic of Chad, whose value is based on the gold price.

Who this gold issue is suited for

This issue appeals to anyone who wants to build up physical gold in small denominations – as a solid foundation or as a meaningful addition to a broadly diversified precious metals holding. And anyone wishing to honor a special occasion such as a birthday or German Unity Day gives, with this piece, not a mere trinket but genuine gold: an investment that preserves the moment while also possessing substance. The big brother of small silver makes great history tangible here in a small format.
