Gold Vincent van Gogh Collage Coin

Vincent van Gogh in pure fine gold – the gold collage coin from Gabon

• Design: A colour-printed collage brings together no fewer than three van Gogh icons on a single surface – on the left, the striking self-portrait with red beard and blue jacket, behind it the swirling blue tones and glowing moon of "The Starry Night", and on the right the radiant "Sunflowers". At the centre sits a golden field bearing the signature "Vincent", with the cursive lettering "Vincent van Gogh" beneath it.
• Material & fineness: Struck from purest fine gold with a fineness of 999/1000 (24 carat) – the highest level of purity in the investment sector. The fine weight is 1/1,000 ounce, i.e. around 0.031 grams.
• Manufacturer: Produced by the traditional Swiss mint Valcambi, one of the most renowned names in the precious metals industry worldwide – issued in the name of the République Gabonaise.
• Face value & year of issue: Official legal tender with a face value of 1,000 CFA francs, minted in 2025.
• Mintage: Strictly limited worldwide to a maximum of 50,000 pieces.
• Format: Rectangular gold coin with rounded corners, measuring approximately 15.4 x 11 mm, Brilliant Uncirculated and securely packaged in a blister card.

With the Gold Vincent van Gogh Collage Coin, you hold a piece of art history in pure gold in your hands. Unlike classic round coins, this issue comes in a rectangular format – its silhouette is reminiscent of a small gold bar, while the face value of 1,000 CFA francs clearly identifies it as an official coin. Within the smallest of spaces, the collage condenses three of the most famous works by the Dutch post-impressionist into a single, vividly colourful overall image. The result is an appealing fusion of painting and fine gold.

Substance rather than mere design: genuine investment gold

As artistic as the design may be, the real reason to buy lies in the metal. The value of this coin is based primarily on the fine gold it contains and moves in line with the gold price. The design is the personal touch, while the 999 fine gold is the substance. With a manageable outlay, you thereby join in on humanity's oldest form of store of value: gold has been a proven store of value for over 6,000 years, possesses intrinsic value, and has never once in its entire history been worth zero.

Small units like this one are particularly well suited to building up physical precious metal holdings step by step. Small amounts of gold add up over the years into a considerable asset – all without a large capital outlay at once. Physical gold can be traded worldwide, is highly liquid, and can be resold at any time. This makes this coin a tangible building block for your inflation hedge and a solid form of crisis protection.

• Preservation of value: Gold protects against loss of purchasing power and has always served as a hedge against inflation and currency risks.
• Building wealth in small steps: ideal for getting started with physical gold investment and continuously building up a precious metals holding.
• Tradability at any time: recognised worldwide, with high liquidity and easy convertibility into cash.
• Tax advantage: Profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

Why the collage coin is so compelling

Compared to the equally popular van Gogh issues in silver, this coin scores points with the value density of gold: genuine fine gold of the highest purity is packed into the smallest of formats. The motifs – self-portrait, "The Starry Night" and "Sunflowers" – are among the most famous works in art history and lend this issue in the "Art & Culture" series its unmistakable character. The mintage, limited to 50,000 pieces, further underscores its value.

Despite the artistic design, what you are acquiring here is full-fledged investment gold: minted fine gold from the house of Valcambi, whose value is based on the gold price.

Whether as an entry point into your own gold investment or as a gift of genuine investment gold for a special occasion – this issue combines the timeless fascination of van Gogh with the enduring security of the yellow metal.
