Advent Calendar LUXURY

24 doors, 24 precious metal moments: the Advent Calendar LUXURY

In the past, behind every little door was a chocolate coin. Here, it's real precious metal. The Advent Calendar LUXURY from Kettner Edelmetalle combines 19 mintings in gold and five coins in silver in one festive gift box. From December 1st to the 24th, you open a new collector's piece every day. Sometimes it's a modern design in Proof quality, sometimes a coin from the German Empire, sometimes a world-famous bullion classic.

After Christmas, nothing here ends up in the recycling bin. Every single piece stays, becomes part of your own collection, or gets passed on as a gift.

The box: a letter to Santa Claus

Even the outside makes you want to open it. The lid of the red flip box looks like an airmail letter to "Santa Claus, North Pole", complete with a red ribbon, a fir branch, and stamps. When you open it, you look into a festive room with Santa Claus and a Christmas tree. Underneath sit 24 numbered boxes that can be removed individually. Practical if the whole family wants to take turns opening them.

What's behind the doors

The centerpiece consists of 16 gold mintings of 1/200 ounce each, including gold coins and small minted bars, almost all in Proof minting quality and in limited mintage. In addition, there is half a gram of gold from one of the most popular design series of all, two miniature gold coins, and five silver coins spanning from the Empire era to the present day.

The gold mintings

• Wildlife: Australia Wildlife Kangaroo 2026 (mintage 5,000), Baby Lion 2026 (mintage 1,000), Sea Creatures White Shark 2026 (mintage 1,000), Big Five Rhino 2026 (mintage 1,000), and the Pteranodon pterosaur 2025 (mintage 5,000), each 1/200 ounce in Proof quality

• Somalia Elephant 2026: 0.5 g gold in Proof quality, from the well-known "African Wildlife" series with a yearly changing elephant design
• Two miniatures: the Gold Coca-Cola Can coin and the Gold Claude Monet Collage coin, each with around 0.03 g of gold

The silver coins

• 1 oz Silver Krugerrand 2026: the silver edition of one of the world's most famous bullion coins, featuring the leaping springbok
• 3 Mark Prussia Wilhelm II: an original Empire-era coin in 900 silver with 15 g of fine silver (year of issue subject to availability)
• 1/2 Mark German Empire: a small silver coin from the Imperial era, also in 900 silver
• 1/10 oz Silver German Eagle 2026: the German heraldic animal in fine silver
• 1/50 oz Silver Triple Maple Leaf 2026: three maple leaves on a 16.5 mm coin, Proof quality, fineness 999.9

Coins from all over the world, designs from three eras

The issuing countries are as varied as the designs. The elephant comes from Somalia, the Krugerrand from South Africa. The Coca-Cola can bears the coat of arms of the Republic of Chad, and the Triple Maple Leaf is an issue from Liberia. The two Empire-era coins come from Germany, from a time when silver still jingled quite naturally in every wallet. This creates a small journey through coin history. Ancient wonders of the world, Egyptian pharaohs, wildlife, and pop culture are only one door apart.

The Proof quality is particularly appealing. In this minting quality, the dies are polished and the blanks are struck individually. The result is a mirror-like background against which the matte relief stands out clearly. Our tip: leave these pieces in their capsule, as fingerprints quickly leave marks on Proof surfaces.

Weight, fineness, and an honest comparison

In total, the calendar contains a good 3 grams of gold and over 52 grams of fine silver. In terms of gold, that corresponds to roughly a 1/10-ounce gold coin. Anyone looking exclusively for the maximum weight per euro is better served with a classic bullion coin such as the 1/10 oz Krugerrand or with gold bars. Small collector's mintings naturally cost more per gram. Design, polished dies, capsule, and licensing costs apply almost as much to a 1/200-ounce piece as they do to a large coin.

In return, the calendar offers something no single coin can, namely variety: two metals, three eras, and 24 designs. It is also a more elegant solution than collecting the same pieces individually.

Gold is humanity's oldest currency and has outlived all others. Whoever gives it away gives a piece of lasting stability.

Who the Advent Calendar LUXURY is suited for

For collectors who want to expand their collection with rare designs and historical pieces. For beginners who want to get to know precious metals firsthand, tangible rather than just a number on paper. And of course for anyone looking for a gift with lasting value, whether for a partner, children, grandchildren, or themselves.

Precious metals have been regarded for centuries as an inflation hedge and as reliable crisis protection, because their value is not tied to a mere promise of payment. The Advent calendar is primarily a collector's and gift product. However, every piece inside it is made of real precious metal, and that is exactly what makes this gift so special.
