This issue belongs to the popular Gold Big Five series and brings Africa's most famous big game into purest gold. Within a diameter of just 14 millimeters lies genuine fine gold – not a mere souvenir, but a tangible, readily tradable physical gold investment. The real reason to buy lies in the substance: its value is based on the fine gold it contains and moves in line with the gold price.

The design: a giant of the savanna

The obverse shows an imposing African elephant with widely spread ears and curved tusks, striding frontally toward the viewer. Finely worked lines faithfully render the folds and grooves of the elephant's skin. Behind it stretches a savanna landscape with characteristic umbrella acacias; at the top edge, an African-inspired triangular ornament decorates the coin, while the split year "20" and "25" flank the animal. A reeded edge completes the coin.

The reverse brings together the complete Big Five: the elephant stands at the center, with the rhinoceros and buffalo to its left, the lion posing with a magnificent mane to its right, and the leopard resting in the foreground – all beneath an acacia tree. The inscription reads "AU 9999", "1/200 OUNCE", "25 DOLLARS" and "REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA". The subtle interplay of matte and highly polished surfaces is the hallmark of the Proof finish and brings out every detail.

Substance over show: the gold investment in detail

The design is the personal touch, the fine gold is the substance. With a fineness of 999.9/1,000, this coin consists of virtually pure gold – a precious metal that has served as a proven store of value for over 6,000 years and has never had a value of zero. Gold has intrinsic value, is tradable worldwide, and can be converted back into cash with high liquidity. As an inflation hedge and reliable crisis protection, it preserves purchasing power when confidence in paper money wanes. In Germany, profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year – all the more reason to continuously build up substance in small units.

Gold is humanity's oldest currency – it has outlived all others, has never had a value of zero, and will not lose its shine in the future either.

Big Five – Africa's great five in gold

Elephant, lion, buffalo, rhinoceros and leopard: these five great animals symbolize the wilderness of Africa and are among the most sought-after animal motifs in numismatics. As gold coins, the Big Five theme enjoys great popularity. While the classic 1 oz Big Five bullion coin from the South African Mint is considerably larger at 32.69 mm, this Liberia issue is deliberately aimed at everyone who wants to start investing in genuine fine gold with a small budget. The low worldwide mintage, limited to 5,000 pieces, lends this coin additional appeal within the series.

Give the gift of real investment gold

Whether for a christening, birthday, wedding or Christmas: whoever gives this coin as a gift is not handing over decoration, but genuine investment gold – an asset whose core is the fine gold itself. Despite the personal occasion, what you are acquiring here is full-value, minted fine gold whose value is based on the gold price. Small quantities of gold in particular add up over the years to considerable wealth and can be passed down across generations. The coin is delivered protected in a decorative coin card.
