The 1/200 ounce gold "Hanging Gardens of Babylon" 2026 from the "Wonders of the World" series by Kettner Edelmetalle is far more than a piece of precious metal – it is a window into an era that continues to fascinate us to this day. As a collector's coin, it combines the highest minting artistry with one of the most mysterious designs in human history.

A Wonder of the World immortalised in pure gold

The obverse of this extraordinary gold coin issue depicts the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in a level of detail that is simply breathtaking. On a diameter of just 14 millimetres, a monumental terraced structure unfolds, rising across multiple levels. Lush vegetation – palm trees, trailing climbing plants, dense treetops – covers every tier. Broad staircases lead upward between columns and arches, while at the base of the complex a water feature mirrors the entire composition. The inscription "DIE HÄNGENDEN GÄRTEN VON BABYLON" frames the design, complemented by the notation "1/200 OZ 9999 FINE GOLD". Against a black background, a contrast is created that makes the golden relief truly radiate.

The reverse is dedicated to the bigger picture: seven circular medallions, artfully embedded in a floral ornament, depict all seven Wonders of the Ancient World – from the Pyramids of Giza to the Colossus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of Alexandria. At the centre sits the coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia. Below it, the face value "25 DOLLARS" and the year of issue 2026. A total work of art that captures the fascination of the ancient world in the smallest of spaces.

Proof – Perfection down to the last detail

The minting quality Proof (PP) represents the pinnacle of coin production. Each individual piece is struck with polished dies on specially prepared blanks – often multiple times – to achieve the characteristic mirror-like surfaces and razor-sharp contours. The result? A coin that appears flawless even under a magnifying glass. For collectors, this quality grade is the decisive criterion, as it guarantees not only visual brilliance but also exceptional value retention.

Only 2,000 pieces worldwide – a numismatic treasure

Let this number sink in: Only 2,000 pieces of this coin were minted. Worldwide. That makes it a true rarity that should be missing from no ambitious collection. Experience shows that issues with such a very low mintage are particularly sought after – and often sold out faster than one might expect. Anyone wishing to complete the entire Wonders of the World series simply cannot pass up this piece.

"Gold is the money of kings, silver the money of gentlemen." – Yet this coin unites both: royal gold and the elegance of a masterpiece of minting art.

Why gold has fascinated for thousands of years

Gold is the oldest currency in human history. For over 6,000 years it has served as a store of value, a medium of exchange, a symbol of power and permanence. Even in ancient Egypt, gold was used as a unit of measure for trade. While paper currencies have come and gone, gold has never lost its lustre – literally. It possesses an intrinsic value that endures independently of governments, central banks or political systems. As an inflation hedge and crisis protection, it enjoys the highest regard worldwide. And: profits from the sale of gold are generally tax-free, provided the holding period is at least one year. Furthermore, gold is exempt from VAT – an advantage that collectors and investors alike appreciate.

The "Wonders of the World" series – collecting with a system

This coin is part of the exclusive "Wonders of the World" series by Kettner Edelmetalle. Each issue is dedicated to one of the seven ancient wonders of the world and combines historical depth with numismatic excellence. What makes it special: the reverse remains identical across the series, depicting all seven wonders of the world in the artful medallions – a unifying element that brings the individual issues together into a harmonious overall picture.
