The magnificent royal design is the personal touch – but the true substance and the actual reason to buy is the precious metal it contains, whose value develops in line with the gold price. In this way, royal minting artistry and tangible asset value are combined in a format that easily fits into any capsule and any portfolio.

A design of royal rank

The obverse of this Queen Elizabeth II gold coin shows the monarch at the time of her accession to the throne in 1952: the young Queen on the throne, equipped with crown, sceptre and orb as visible symbols of her reign. Above the depiction is the crowned monogram "EIIR" for Elizabeth II Regina. The surrounding inscription "HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II · PLATINUM JUBILEE · 2022" honours Her Majesty on the occasion of her 70th Platinum Jubilee – an event no British monarch had previously achieved. The reverse bears the coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo with the inscriptions "JUSTICE · PAIX · TRAVAIL", the face value of 10 Francs as well as the fineness declaration "0.5 g Au 999.9". A reeded edge completes the elegant appearance.

Finest gold in Proof quality

The coin is made of 999.9 fine gold – the purest, 24-carat material. It was minted in the highest quality level, Proof: mirrored surfaces in the background, matte, three-dimensionally raised reliefs and sharply defined contours. Internationally, this quality is referred to as "Proof" and is considered the most demanding minting technique of all. With a diameter of just 11.00 mm and a fine weight of 0.5 g, this creates a small masterpiece of coin craftsmanship from the Bavarian Main Mint, one of Europe's most traditional mints. The piece is delivered protected in a coin capsule.

Strictly limited – a scarce offer

The worldwide mintage is limited to 5,000 pieces. This limitation makes the issue a genuine rarity among the small gold coins dedicated to the British monarchy. Anyone who values scarce, high-quality gold coinage will find here a sought-after collector's coin with a clear investment core: unlike purely decorative coinage, the tradeable gold value stands at the end. Small mintages and worldwide popularity of the design have historically proven to be a good starting point for future demand.

Gold investment in small steps

Gold is humanity's oldest currency and a store of value proven over millennia – a precious metal that has never had a value of zero. Small units like this one are excellent for building up wealth in physical gold step by step and with a manageable outlay; over the years, many small positions add up to a considerable holding. As a building block for wealth preservation, inflation hedge and crisis protection, gold is recognised worldwide, highly liquid and can be traded again at any time. Capital gains from privately held, physical gold in Germany are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

Despite the festive occasion, you are acquiring here full-fledged investment gold – minted fine gold whose value is linked to the gold price.

This is exactly how genuine investment gold can also be given as a gift – for a birthday, a christening, a wedding or an anniversary. In doing so, you are not presenting a fleeting item, but a lasting asset made of fine gold, combining the memory of Queen Elizabeth II's 70th Platinum Jubilee with the enduring lustre of gold.
