A Masterpiece of Minting Art – Carl Friedrich Gauß in Gold

The obverse of this gold bar-coin hybrid features the iconic portrait of mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauß (1777–1855), exactly as millions of Germans admired it for decades on the 10-Mark note. The serial number "GN4480100S8", the inscription "DEUTSCHE BUNDESBANK" in old German Fraktur script, the famous Gaussian normal distribution curve in the background, and the Göttingen city skyline – all these details have been transferred to the golden rectangle with incredible precision. On the right, "ZEHN DEUTSCHE MARK" is emblazoned in raised lettering.

The reverse surprises with an equally fascinating design: a historical sextant – the navigational instrument depicted on the original banknote – dominates the image. Alongside it are the coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia, the official face value of 25 Dollars, the weight specification 1/200 oz, and the fineness designation "999.9 FINE GOLD". The seal of the Deutsche Bundesbank lends the piece additional authenticity.

What makes a minted bar so special?

You may be wondering: what exactly is a minted bar? The answer is as elegant as the product itself. It is a bar in classic rectangular form that nonetheless bears an official face value – in this case, 25 Dollars of the Republic of Liberia. Through this stamped face value, the bar attains the legal status of a coin. It is therefore official legal tender in the issuing country. A fascinating symbiosis of bar aesthetics and coin status, highly regarded by collectors worldwide.

Extreme Rarity with Only 5,000 Pieces Worldwide

What sets this collector's coin apart from ordinary gold products is its very low mintage. Just 5,000 pieces were minted worldwide – and not a single additional one will ever be struck. In the world of numismatics, such a quantity is considered extraordinarily low. By comparison, popular bullion coins such as the Krugerrand or the Vienna Philharmonic are produced in mintages of millions each year. Here we are talking about a genuine rarity that deserves a place of honour in any serious collection.

"Gold is the only money that has preserved its value for over 6,000 years – while every paper currency has eventually faded into insignificance. This minted bar combines both: the memory of the Deutsche Mark and the eternal permanence of gold."

Why This Minted Bar Belongs in Your Collection

The combination of German monetary nostalgia, purest fine gold, and a strictly limited mintage makes this minted bar an extraordinary collector's piece. Gold is exempt from VAT, and profits from its sale are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year – an advantage that hardly any other investment can offer.

As an inflation hedge, gold has proven its strength for millennia. While paper money – whether Deutsche Mark or Euro – can be multiplied at will by central banks, the supply of gold remains naturally limited. This minted bar reminds us of this in a wonderful way: the Deutsche Mark is history, but the gold into which it has been transformed here will still hold its value in a hundred years.

For all those who wish to build comprehensive crisis protection beyond this, Kettner Edelmetalle offers a wide range of gold coins and gold bars in a variety of denominations.
