24 doors full of precious metal: the Advent Calendar Premium
Behind every door awaits genuine gold or genuine silver. No chocolate coins, no tin pendants. The Advent Calendar Premium turns the pre-Christmas season into a little treasure hunt: 24 mintings, 19 of them in fine gold, 5 in silver, totalling 57.12 grams of fine weight. Modern micro-mintages in Proof quality meet true classics among bullion coins as well as original coins from the German Empire.
The whole thing comes packaged in a festive red flip-top box. The lid looks like a letter addressed to "Santa Claus, North Pole", with Santa peeking through a window on the inside, next to a decorated Christmas tree. Underneath wait 24 numbered little boxes. This is a calendar you'll love to put on display.
What awaits behind the doors
16 mintings of 1/200 ounce fine gold each
The heart of the calendar is formed by 16 gold pieces, each containing 0.16 g of fine gold. Almost all of them are limited editions struck in the collector quality Proof:
- Myths, gods and legends: minted bars Cupid God of Love (mintage 1,000), Aphrodite (5,000), Atlas Bearer of the Celestial Sphere (5,000), Thor's Hammer Mjölnir (1,000), Chinese Dragon (5,000) as well as Adam and Eve (1,000)
- Ancient high culture: minted bars Egypt Tutankhamun Death Mask (1,000) and the Pyramid of Giza from the Wonders of the World series (2,000)
- Wildlife: Big Five Rhino (1,000), Kangaroo from the Australia Wildlife series (5,000), Great White Shark from the Sea Creatures series (1,000) and Golden Eagle (5,000)
- D-Mark nostalgia: the banknote-shaped minted bars 10 Old Deutsche Mark and 100 Old Deutsche Mark, both in the original design (1,000 each)
- Christmas-themed: the two gold bars Christmas Tree and Reindeer
Just how much detail fits onto such a small surface is shown by the Big Five Rhino. The obverse depicts a white rhinoceros standing in tall grass, framed by African diamond ornamentation. The reverse brings together all five animals: lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and Cape buffalo. Also featured are the inscription "1/200 OZ FINE GOLD 9999", the face value of 25 dollars and "Republic of Liberia". Fine gold at 999.9/1,000, presented like a large minting.
Three further gold coins
With 0.5 g of fine gold, the Somalia Elephant 2026 in Proof quality is the heaviest gold piece in the calendar. The Elephant series from Somalia ranks among the best-known design series among collectors. Two mini gold coins with 0.03 g of gold each bring a smile: the Claude Monet Collage and the Coca-Cola Can. Small, but genuine precious metal.
Five silver coins with character
- 1 oz Silver Krugerrand 2026: 31.1 g fine silver (999/1,000), approx. 38.7 mm diameter. On one side the springbok, on the other Paul Kruger. The South African Mint has also issued the Krugerrand in silver since 2018. It is the heavyweight of the calendar.
- 1/10 oz Silver German Eagle 2026: 3.11 g fine silver (999.9/1,000), 20 mm. On one side an eagle in flight, on the other Germania with helmet and spear. Together, the inscriptions read "Unity and Justice and Freedom for the German Fatherland".
- 1/50 oz Silver Triple Maple Leaf 2026: 0.62 g fine silver (999.9/1,000) in Proof quality, 16.5 mm. Three maple leaves on a single shared stem.
- German Empire 1/2 Mark: 900 silver, 2.5 g fine silver, approx. 20 mm, featuring the Imperial Eagle. Issued from 1905.
- 3 Mark Prussia Wilhelm II: 900 silver, 16.667 g gross weight, 15 g fine silver, 33 mm. It depicts the portrait of the last German Emperor and was struck in Berlin (mint mark A) from 1908 to 1912. The year of issue cannot be selected.
Timelessly valuable: precious metal under the Christmas tree
Gold is humanity's oldest currency. It has outlived kingdoms, empires and countless paper currencies. The 3-Mark coin in the calendar is a fitting example: the empire that issued it has not existed for over a hundred years, yet its silver has retained its value.
Many people buy physical precious metal as an inflation hedge and as a tangible crisis protection that remains in one's own possession, independent of banks and accounts. The Advent Calendar Premium is above all a collector's product. But its foundation is gold and silver, and the festive packaging doesn't change that. Good to know: in Germany, profits from the private sale of physical precious metal are generally tax-free after a holding period of more than one year.
An Advent calendar whose contents outlast Christmas — and the next few decades along with it.
Calendar or single coin? An honest comparison
Together, the gold pieces weigh in at 3.12 g of fine gold. That's almost exactly as much as a 1/10 oz gold coin. Anyone who simply wants as much gold as possible per euro is therefore better off choosing a larger bullion coin or a gold bar, since small denominations carry a higher premium per gram over the metal value. That's part of the honest truth.
In return, the calendar offers something no single coin can:
- 24 moments instead of one: a new minting every morning, a new story, a new design.
- Limited collector's items: most of the gold mintings are limited to between 1,000 and 5,000 pieces.
- Two metals, three eras: gold and silver, the German Empire, the D-Mark era and the year 2026, all in one box.
- Small units: the individual pieces can later be easily given as gifts or sold off individually.
- A gift that stays memorable: for your partner, children, grandchildren, or simply for yourself.
Who the Advent Calendar Premium is suited for
For collectors who want to fill their display case with 24 new designs all at once. For newcomers who want to actually hold gold and silver in their hands instead of just reading about them. And for anyone who wants to give a gift that won't gather dust in a cupboard after the 24th of December. Open one door every day in December. By the end, you'll have a small collection of gold and silver.
