Five number-one hits in a row. That's exactly what Dieter Bohlen and Thomas Anders achieved as Modern Talking in 1985 and 1986 – a feat that still makes pop history to this day. The Hit Collection brings this era back, and not as a fan item, but in genuine precious metal. Anyone wishing to collect all the mintings from the 2026 year of issue will find the complete series bundled together here in a single package.

What's included in the Hit Collection

1. 1 ounce silver Dieter Bohlen 2026 – Proof, mintage of 999 pieces, 40 mm diameter, face value 20 dollars
2. 1/200 ounce gold Dieter Bohlen 2026 – Proof, mintage of 1,000 pieces, in the coin card with "Dieter Bohlen" lettering and "Pop-Titan" on the reverse
3. 1/200 ounce gold "You're My Heart, You're My Soul" 2026 – Proof, mintage of 500 pieces
4. 1/200 ounce gold "Cheri Cheri Lady" 2026 – Proof, mintage of 500 pieces
5. 1/200 ounce gold "Brother Louie" 2026 – Proof, mintage of 500 pieces

Each gold coin measures 14 mm and contains 0.16 g of fine gold. Small? Yes. But crafted with intricate detail down to the very last element.

A design you can practically hear

The portrait shows the pop titan in half-profile, with an open shirt collar and that smile millions recognize from television. Behind him run concentric lines – the grooves of a vinyl record. On the reverse, musical notes float above a stylized record, below which a detailed synthesizer keyboard extends as a tribute to Bohlen's studio work. The lettering "REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA" and the country's coat of arms complete the picture.

The three hit editions are packaged with particular care. Their coin cards resemble 1980s album covers: black vinyl, golden accents, the song title in large letters and the year of its success. "You're My Heart, You're My Soul" topped the German charts for six weeks starting in March 1985, "Cheri Cheri Lady" followed in the autumn of the same year, and "Brother Louie" continued the winning streak in 1986. Three world hits – four decades later in pure fine gold.

Proof: the supreme discipline of minting artistry

All five coins were struck in Proof quality. Mirror-finished fields meet matte, raised designs, and it is precisely this contrast that creates the effect: the portrait appears to step out of the coin. For collectors, this quality is the gold standard, as hardly any other minting technique brings out details so brilliantly. The silver ounce is housed in a protective coin capsule to keep its sensitive surface untouched.

Set or individual coin? An honest comparison

Of course, the five mintings are also available individually. However, the appeal of the collection lies in its completeness. Especially with such small mintages, tracking down a missing hit edition later can become tedious – here you hold the complete series in your hands all at once.

Compared to classic bullion coins such as the Krugerrand or Maple Leaf, the 1/200 ounce is naturally not intended for acquiring large amounts of gold at the lowest possible premium per gram; with such small denominations, this premium is inevitably higher. In return, it scores points with an easy entry point, high flexibility and a collector's value that a standard bullion coin simply cannot offer. The silver ounce combines the familiar standard of 31.1 g of fine silver with a design that stands out clearly from the animal and architectural motifs found on common silver coins or classic commemorative coins.

Precious metal with substance – not just for fans

Gold is humanity's oldest currency and has outlasted all others. Silver has accompanied the history of money since antiquity as a coinage metal and was regarded in many cultures as a symbol of wealth and prestige. Unlike fiat money, which relies solely on trust in governments, both metals possess an intrinsic value derived from their physical properties.

Silver is both a proven store of value and a sought-after industrial raw material – indispensable in electronics, solar and medical technology. Supply is limited, while new technologies repeatedly revive demand.

Many investors therefore value precious metals as an inflation hedge and as crisis protection in politically and economically turbulent times. Silver is also more affordable than gold, known worldwide and, thanks to its smaller denominations, also suitable as a medium of exchange. Physical coins are durable, retain their properties across generations and can be passed on easily – for example, as a building block of long-term provision for children and grandchildren. Another advantage: in Germany, profits from the sale of physical gold and silver are generally tax-free if at least one year has passed between purchase and sale.

Who the collection is suitable for

• Modern Talking fans who finally want to hold their favorite hits in their hands
• Collectors of modern portrait designs and strictly limited mintages
• Precious metal enthusiasts who want to combine gold and silver in a single package
• Gift-givers looking for a lasting present with genuine material value

Music fades away, precious metal remains. With the Modern Talking Hit Collection, you secure a piece of German pop history that you'll enjoy admiring on the shelf just as much as keeping in your own safe.
