Baptism Gift Set “Blessed Start” Gold & Silver for Baptism

A Blessed Start: a christening gift that lasts

A christening is a promise. Parents, godparents and family place a baby under God's blessing, and many want to give this day something that won't simply gather dust in a drawer after a few years. The christening gift set "A Blessed Start" combines genuine gold and the finest silver in four pieces that fit together wonderfully in theme. Together they weigh in at 32.13 g of fine metal.

What's included in the set

• 1 g gold bar Heimerle + Meule "For Christening" (FineCard): 999.9 fine gold, embedded in a card in credit-card format (85.6 × 54 mm). White doves fly across the card in front of a warm golden light, next to the inscription "Zur Taufe" (For Christening).
• 1/2 ounce silver Guardian Angel 2026: 15.55 g fine silver 999.9 in Proof quality, limited worldwide to only 2,000 pieces.
• 1/2 ounce silver Noah's Ark 2025: 15.55 g fine silver 999, official legal tender of the Republic of Armenia with a face value of 200 Dram.
• Gold Dove of Peace Shaped Coin: approximately 0.03 g fine gold 999 (1/1,000 ounce), struck in the shape of a flying dove.

Three times the dove: a set with a common thread

Those who look closely will discover the connecting motif. It is the dove. At the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan, according to the Gospels, the Holy Spirit descended "like a dove". In the story of the flood, the dove returns to Noah with an olive branch in its beak, as a sign of a new beginning. The set takes up exactly these images: on the FineCard, as a golden silhouette, and on the Noah's Ark coin. Added to this is the guardian angel, probably the most popular wish godparents give a child to accompany them on their way. Hardly any gift for a christening carries more symbolic power.

The gold bar from Pforzheim

Heimerle + Meule was founded in Pforzheim in 1845 and is considered Germany's oldest active gold and silver refinery. Since 2014, the company has been listed on the LBMA's Good Delivery List for gold. The minted bar bears the inscription "FINE GOLD", the fineness 999.9, the caster's medallion with the year 1845, and the field "melter assayer". It is small, but it is full-fledged fine gold, whose value is based on the gold price.

The Guardian Angel 2026 in Proof quality

For collectors, it is the centerpiece. The praying angel with widespread wings, a halo, and a wreath of blossoms in its hair is worked out in fine relief, above which reads "1/2 OZ FINE SILVER 9999". The Proof finish, with mirrored fields and matte relief, brings out every single feather in striking detail. The coin is issued by Liberia with a face value of 10 Dollars. With a diameter of 38.61 mm, it appears strikingly generous for a half ounce.

The Noah's Ark 2025

Noah's Ark is the first bullion coin of the Central Bank of Armenia. A new year of issue has appeared every year since 2011. It is minted in Germany by Leipziger Edelmetallverarbeitung (LEV). The design shows the ark on the waves, the dove with the olive branch, and behind it Mount Ararat with its two peaks in the light of the rising sun. The coin brings solid, globally recognized investment silver into the set, making it the down-to-earth counterpart to the guardian angel.

The golden Dove of Peace

A shaped coin is not struck round, but follows the contour of the motif. The Dove of Peace from the Swiss mint Valcambi is official legal tender of the Republic of Gabon (1,000 CFA francs). This means the christening set contains not just one gold piece, but two.

Values that carry across generations

Gold is humanity's oldest currency. It has outlasted kingdoms, paper money and entire monetary systems. Silver has accompanied it as a coinage metal for thousands of years. Both are tangible, they do not spoil, and they require no middleman. That is why many families use physical precious metals as an inflation hedge and as a building block for crisis protection, regardless of how the world turns by the time the newly baptized child comes of age.

A christening gift made of precious metal does not age. It waits until the child is old enough to understand what was given to them on that day.

Set or single piece? An honest comparison

A single 1 g gold bar is the simplest way to give gold as a gift. Those who want as much metal as possible for their money tend to choose larger coins, gold bars or silver bars, since small denominations and collector quality naturally carry a higher premium per gram. This set deliberately takes a different approach, uniting three worlds in one gift:

• Investment gold from an LBMA-listed German refinery
• Bullion silver from one of the world's best-known coin series
• A limited collector's coin in the highest minting quality
• Consistent symbolism of dove, ark and angel, fitting for a christening

Classic gifts such as a christening candle, music box or silver spoon are lovely, but their material value usually plays little role. Here, it's the other way around: the symbolism gives meaning, while the substance endures.

At a glance

Anyone looking for a christening gift that is both touching and enduring will find exactly what they need with "A Blessed Start". It comprises four coins and bars, one motif, and one blessing that lives on in gold and silver.
