Small in format, substantial in content. This minting brings together the purest fine gold with one of the most famous stories in world literature. Among the gold coins in our range, it is one of the most accessible ways to own physical precious metal. Visually, it may bring to mind an elaborately designed collector's coin. At its core, however, you are acquiring full-fledged investment gold, not merely a collector's item: minted fine gold with 999.9/1,000 fineness, whose value is based on the gold price.

Fine gold as the foundation: the investment character

What makes this coin valuable is its metal. Gold is the oldest currency in the world and has served as a store of value for over 6,000 years. Even in ancient Egypt, it was used as a unit of measure in trade. Up until the 20th century, entire currencies were firmly tied to it under the gold standard. Paper money can be multiplied at will, whereas gold is a scarce commodity with limited supply. It has intrinsic value and has therefore never fallen to zero.

For this reason, many people see gold as a building block for inflation hedging and crisis protection. It is not without reason that central banks are among the largest holders of gold in the world. As an investor, three characteristics matter most to you:

• Building wealth in small steps: With 1/200 ounce, you can get started without having to tie up large sums. Even small amounts of gold add up over the years to considerable wealth.
• Worldwide tradability: Fine gold is internationally recognized, highly liquid, and can be sold again at any time.
• Preservation of value across generations: Gold is durable, retains its physical properties, and will never lose its shine. It is therefore well suited for passing on wealth.

There is also a pleasant side effect: profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

Only 1,000 pieces in Proof quality

The edition is strictly limited: worldwide, there are only 1,000 pieces. This tight limitation makes the coin a true rarity among micro-mintings. The potential for value appreciation arises primarily from the fine gold content and the development of the gold price.

It was minted in Proof quality, the highest level of preservation. Mirror-smooth fields meet silky-matte reliefs, and this contrast comes through particularly clearly on a diameter of just 14 millimeters. The reeded edge provides a clean finish to the coin's design.

A design that touches the heart

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince" was published in 1943 and has since been translated into hundreds of languages. At its center is the relationship between the prince and his rose. That is exactly what both sides of the coin depict. One side shows the prince with his scarf blowing in the wind, watering the rose on his small planet with a watering can. Above this are the inscriptions "1/200 OZ FINE GOLD 9999" and the year of issue, 2026.

The other side shows him kneeling as he gently lowers the glass dome over the flower. Also featured are the face value "25 DOLLARS," the inscription "REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA," and a small medallion with the Liberian coat of arms. Small volcanoes and a dense starry sky round out the design. The design provides the personal touch. The fine gold provides the substance.

How does the 1/200 ounce compare?

France is also honoring The Little Prince in 2026 on its 80th anniversary with commemorative coins from the Monnaie de Paris, including a 5-euro gold coin with 0.5 g and a mintage of 2,500 pieces. Our 1/200-ounce edition, with only 1,000 pieces, has an even significantly smaller mintage and a particularly low entry threshold.

To be perfectly honest: anyone looking for the maximum amount of fine gold per euro invested should opt for larger denominations such as one ounce or bars. Small coins like this one, on the other hand, offer maximum flexibility. They can be purchased piece by piece, divided up, and resold individually.

Give the gift of genuine investment gold

Whether for a christening, birthday, wedding, or Christmas: with this coin, you give the gift of genuine investment gold. It is delivered in a coincard featuring The Little Prince in a crystalline look on his sparkling planet, along with the phrase "One sees clearly only with the heart." Despite the personal occasion, the recipient receives full-fledged fine gold. This creates an asset that can grow along with them, and a foundation for their own gold investment.

Gold has already outlived many currencies. It has shone for thousands of years and retains its value independent of promises made on paper.
