An Ancient Wonder of the World, Immortalised in Gold

The Colossus of Rhodes is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – and although the bronze statue of the sun god Helios was destroyed by an earthquake as early as 226 BC, its legend lives on. On the obverse of this exceptional gold coin edition, the monumental figure rises in a wide-legged stance above the harbour entrance of Rhodes. The muscular figure wears a radiant crown and raises a blazing torch aloft. An artfully draped robe falls over the left shoulder. Between the statue's spread legs, an ancient sailing ship glides through – a detail that impressively underscores the sheer size of the Colossus. Harbour walls and coastal scenery on either side complete the scene.

The inscription "DER KOLOSS VON RHODOS" and the legend "1/200 OZ 9999 FINE GOLD" elegantly frame the design. The deep black mirror background, typical of the Proof finish, makes the golden reliefs appear almost three-dimensional.

The Reverse: All Seven Wonders of the World at a Glance

Turn the coin over and you will discover a true masterpiece of engraving. Seven circular medallions, embedded in a floral ornamental pattern, depict all the Wonders of the Ancient World: the Pyramids of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Lighthouse of Alexandria – and of course the Colossus of Rhodes itself. At the centre, the coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia, the issuing country, is displayed with a face value of 25 Dollars. The year 2026 and the inscription "DIE 7 WELTWUNDER" complete the design.

"Gold has been used as a store of value and medium of exchange since antiquity. Thousands of years ago, civilisations already recognised the value and appeal of this precious metal."

Premium Coincard – Perfect for Collectors

The coin is delivered in an elaborately designed coincard that atmospherically captures the Wonders of the World theme. The front of the card shows the Colossus in full splendour against a golden backdrop with further Wonders of the World in the background. The reverse presents all seven Wonders of the World in an artistic circular arrangement. The coincard thus becomes a collector's item in its own right – while simultaneously protecting the coin from damage and environmental influences.

Why This Coin Is a True Collector's Highlight

Gold is the oldest currency in human history. It has outlasted every crisis, survived every empire, and weathered every currency collapse unscathed. For over 6,000 years it has served as a stable store of value – and has never once been worth zero. This timeless precious metal is VAT-exempt, offers inflation protection and serves as a proven crisis hedge. Gains from sales are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

But this coin goes far beyond its pure material value. The strictly limited mintage of just 2,000 pieces makes it an exceptional rarity. Experience shows that demand for such exclusive issues tends to grow over time – while supply, by its very nature, cannot increase. For passionate collectors, this creates considerable appreciation potential that can far exceed the gold price.

The "Wonders of the World" series by Kettner Edelmetalle combines cultural and historical fascination with numismatic excellence. Each edition is dedicated to one of the seven ancient Wonders of the World and tells its story through the finest gold engraving. The Colossus of Rhodes – once over 30 metres tall and one of the most daring structures of antiquity – finds a worthy tribute in this miniature gold coin. Small in format, great in impact.

Secure your piece of this limited collector's coin now, before the mintage is sold out. With only 2,000 pieces worldwide, speed is of the essence – because once they are gone, they are gone for good.
