Gold August Macke Die Vier Mädchen Coin

What at first glance appears to be an artistic homage is, at its core, a solid gold investment – because the substance and actual reason for purchase is the contained 999/1,000 fine gold, whose value is based on the gold price. The design is the personal touch, the precious metal the lasting foundation.

The Design: August Macke's „The Four Girls"

The reverse shows the painting of the same name that gives this coin its title. Four young women stand close together, fully embedded in the interplay of form and colour of the surrounding landscape – a work that derives its composition entirely from clear, bold areas of colour. The original was created in 1912/13 as oil on canvas and is now held at the Kunstmuseum Düsseldorf. On the blister card, the image appears in full colour splendour, while on the coin itself it takes the form of a fine gold relief bearing the distinctive signature „Aug. Macke".

August Macke (1887–1914) is regarded as the greatest colourist of his generation and the most important representative of Rhenish Expressionism. His close friendship with Franz Marc and their shared affiliation with the artist group „Der Blaue Reiter" left a lasting mark on early 20th-century German art. Whoever holds this coin in their hands thus combines a piece of art history with a proven store of value.

The Obverse: Coat of Arms of the Republic of Chad

The obverse bears the national coat of arms of the issuing country, featuring the supporting lion and goat, along with the inscriptions „REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", the face value „3000 FRANCS CFA", and the fineness indication „999/1000 FINE GOLD". This clearly identifies the coin as official, state-issued legal tender.

Genuine Investment Gold – Small in Format, Enduring in Value

Despite its artistic occasion, what you are acquiring here is full-fledged gold coin investment gold: minted fine gold whose value is primarily based on the precious metal and moves in line with the gold price. Gold is humanity's oldest currency, a proven store of value for over 6,000 years that has never been worth zero. Small units in particular offer an uncomplicated entry point into physical gold investment.

• Value preservation & purchasing power protection: Gold retains its intrinsic value and serves as an inflation hedge against the loss of purchasing power of unbacked paper currencies.
• Crisis resilience: As a physical tangible asset, gold offers proven crisis protection in politically and economically uncertain times.
• Building wealth in small steps: Small quantities of gold add up over the years into a considerable fortune that can be passed down through generations.
• High liquidity: Gold is recognised worldwide, can be traded at any time, and can be easily resold.

A note for investors: in Germany, profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a minimum holding period of one year. This coin therefore combines the emotional appeal of a work of art with the sober advantages of a solid precious metals investment.
