A masterpiece of Expressionism, struck in pure fine gold: the Franz Marc Blue Horse coin brings one of the most famous paintings in German art history into precious metal in the smallest of formats. What matters here is not just the visual appeal, but the substance – full-value, physical gold whose value is based on the gold price.

• Design: The reverse shows Franz Marc's iconic "Blue Horse" – the lowered, deep blue shimmering animal set against vivid yellow, red and green fields of color, along with the signature "F. Marc". A key work of Expressionism and of the "Der Blaue Reiter" artist group, recreated here in flowing forms and broad brushstrokes.

With this coin, you hold one of the smallest gold coins in the world – and at the same time genuine, tangible investment gold. The design gives the coin its personal touch, but the real substance and reason for purchase is the gold it contains. The coincard permanently protects the delicate piece while also guaranteeing its authenticity and quality.

A masterpiece of Expressionism in fine gold

Franz Marc (1880–1916) is one of the most significant German painters of modernism. His "Blue Horse I" from 1911 is one of the best-known works in art history and can be seen today at the Lenbachhaus in Munich. The obverse of the coin bears the coat of arms of Chad along with the inscriptions "RÉPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", "3000 FRANCS CFA" and "999/1000 FINE GOLD". This issue is part of the "Art & Culture" series, which also features designs by other great artists – such as Gustav Klimt.

Why physical gold is a wise foundation

Gold is the oldest currency in the world and has been a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It has intrinsic value, has never been worth zero, and protects against loss of purchasing power. It is no coincidence that central banks around the world hold large gold reserves. As an inflation hedge and crisis protection, this precious metal is valued worldwide – tradable, liquid, and convertible into cash at any time.

Despite the artistic design, what you are acquiring here is full-value investment gold – minted fine gold whose value is based on the gold price.

• Value preservation: Building wealth in small, affordable steps – small amounts of gold add up over the years to a substantial fortune.
• Liquidity: Recognized worldwide and can be traded or resold at any time.
• Tax advantage: Profits from the sale of gold are generally tax-free after a minimum holding period of one year.
• A legacy for generations: Suitable as long-term protection that can be passed down.

Whether as an entry point into physical gold investment or as a thoughtful addition to your precious metals holdings: this coin combines a timeless artistic design with the lasting value of fine gold. And if you want to give genuine investment gold as a gift for a birthday, christening or wedding, you're not just handing over an object – you're giving a real asset.
