The design: Monet's Woman with a Parasol

The original was created in 1875 and shows Monet's wife Camille with their son on a summer meadow. The viewpoint looks up at the lady in her light, flowing dress, while the wind catches the green parasol and her veil. The characteristic impressionist brushstrokes, the blue-white sky with dynamic clouds, and the green-yellow colours of the blooming meadow have been captured in rich detail on this small surface. The inscription „Claude Monet" adorns the right edge of the coin; in the lower area, a framed, golden-brown secondary motif of the same subject points to the artist's own hand. In this way, painting and numismatics combine to create a minting with a distinctive, personal touch.

Obverse: the coat of arms of the Republic of Chad

The obverse bears the national coat of arms of Chad, flanked by a wild goat and a lion. Surrounding it and below are the inscriptions „REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD" as the issuing country, „3000 FRANCS CFA" as the face value, and „999/1000 FINE GOLD" as proof of the high fineness. This makes the coin an officially issued legal tender of the country.

Investment gold in a small format – preserving value gram by gram

Even though the design is captivating, what you are essentially acquiring here is a physical, return-oriented gold investment. Its value is based on the fine gold it contains and moves in line with the gold price. For those seeking to build wealth in small steps, such 1/1000 oz mintings offer a low-threshold entry into physical gold investment – tradeable at any time and resellable worldwide.

Gold is humanity's oldest currency – it has outlived every paper currency and preserved its intrinsic value over millennia.

Physical gold has been regarded as a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It has never been worth zero, protects against loss of purchasing power, and serves as an inflation hedge as well as reliable crisis protection against political and economic turmoil. It is no coincidence that central banks are among the largest gold holders in the world. As a scarce commodity with limited supply, gold offers high liquidity and can be quickly converted back into cash. Profits from its sale are also generally tax-free, provided the minimum holding period of one year is observed.

Who this minting is suited for

This edition appeals to investors who want to diversify their wealth with small, physical gold values – and to anyone wishing to pass on a genuine gold investment. Small amounts of gold add up over the years into a considerable fortune and can be handed down from generation to generation.

• An entry point into physical gold investment with a low capital outlay.
• Give the gift of real investment gold – for example for a christening, birthday, or wedding: what is handed over is an asset, not just a souvenir.
• Strictly limited, Brilliant Uncirculated new stock from Valcambi.
