This collector's coin belongs to the exclusive "Wonders of the World" series by Kettner Edelmetalle and, with a very low mintage of just 2,000 pieces worldwide, is a true rarity on the collector's market.

An ancient wonder of the world immortalised in pure gold

The obverse of this extraordinary gold coin edition depicts the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria with a level of detail that is simply impressive. Despite the compact diameter of just 14 millimetres, every architectural element is recognisable: the massive square base with its numerous windows, the octagonal middle tower enthroned upon it, and the crowning lantern with its colonnade, from which rays of light radiate in all directions. The entire structure rests on a fortified platform by the sea – flanked by lower auxiliary buildings. The inscription "DER LEUCHTTURM VON ALEXANDRIA" as well as the specification "1/200 OZ 9999 FINE GOLD" elegantly frame the design.

The reverse is no less fascinating. Seven circular medallions, embedded in a magnificent floral ornament, depict all seven wonders of the ancient world: the Pyramids of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Temple of Artemis, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, and of course the Lighthouse itself. In the centre, the coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia is prominently displayed. Below: "25 DOLLARS · 2026".

Proof – perfection down to the finest detail

The Proof mint quality is the supreme discipline of coin minting. Each individual piece is produced using specially polished dies on mirror-polished blanks. The result? Mirror-like surfaces that stand in fascinating contrast to the frosted, raised design details. For a coin of this size – we are talking about 0.16 grams of purest 999.9 fine gold – this is a feat of craftsmanship that is second to none.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria, built in the 3rd century BC on the island of Pharos, was considered a technical marvel of antiquity with an estimated height of over 100 metres. Its light guided sailors for centuries – until earthquakes finally destroyed the structure in the 14th century.

Why this coin is so special for collectors

The combination of a historically significant design, purest gold, and a strictly limited mintage makes this issue a highly sought-after collector's piece. Only 2,000 people worldwide can call this gem their own. Experience shows that coins with such low mintage figures sell out quickly – and are barely available on the secondary market.

1. Purest fine gold (999.9/1,000) – purchasable free of VAT
2. Reeded edge for authentic tactile feel and security against counterfeiting
3. Stylish coincard packaging featuring an artistic design of the Lighthouse
4. Part of the coveted "Wonders of the World" series with high collectible value
5. Face value of 25 Dollars (Liberia) as legal tender

The high-quality coincard in which this coin is delivered is itself a small work of art. It depicts the Lighthouse of Alexandria in an atmospheric evening scene – glowing golden against a dramatic sky. The reverse of the coincard presents all seven wonders of the world in a magnificent medallion arrangement. This not only protects the coin but also presents it in a stylish setting.

Gold – the eternal store of value

For over 6,000 years, people have trusted gold as a store of value. Even in ancient Egypt it served as a unit of measurement for trade, and kings and emperors wore it as a symbol of their power. Gold has survived every crisis, outlasted every currency. It possesses an intrinsic value that can never fall to zero. While fiat money can be multiplied at will by central banks, the supply of gold remains naturally limited – a decisive advantage for long-term value stability.

Profits from the sale of gold are generally tax-free in Germany, provided the holding period is at least one year. In addition, gold as an investment metal is exempt from VAT. This makes this coin interesting not only for passionate collectors, but also for all those who wish to protect their wealth with a proven inflation hedge or want a reliable crisis protection in their portfolio.

Act now – before it's too late

With a mintage of just 2,000 pieces worldwide, one thing is certain: this coin will not be available for long. The "Wonders of the World" series by Kettner Edelmetalle enjoys enormous popularity, and the appreciation potential for such rare issues is, in our experience, considerable. Anyone who wishes to combine the fascination of ancient architecture with the timeless beauty of fine gold will find a truly unique collector's piece in this 1/200-ounce gold coin.
