Gold Franz Marc "The Foxes" – World-Famous Art as Genuine Investment Gold
A masterpiece of German Expressionism, captured in purest fine gold: the gold coin "The Foxes" by Franz Marc brings one of the most famous animal motifs in art history into a convenient investment format. Issued by the Republic of Chad in the minting year 2025, this piece from our gold coins category combines artistic fascination with the lasting substance of physical gold. The real reason to buy is not the image, but the precious metal struck within it – the value is based on the gold price.
- Design: Franz Marc's expressionist work "The Foxes" from 1913 – intertwined fox bodies, cubistically dissolved into angular, overlapping color fields. Warm red, orange, brown, and yellow tones give the composition a distinctive dynamism. Signed with the striking inscription "Fz Marc".
- Material & Fineness: Struck from pure fine gold with a fineness of 999/1,000 (24 carat). Fine weight 1/1,000 oz (approx. 0.031 g), format 11 x 15.4 mm – a miniature format made of pure precious metal.
- Manufacturer: Produced by Valcambi, one of Switzerland's most renowned mints, known worldwide for the highest precision and quality.
Two Sides, One Promise of Value
The reverse shows the foxes as the centerpiece of the composition – with their vibrant colors, abstracted, almost encoded visual language, and the artist's name "Fz Marc". The obverse bears the national emblem of the Republic of Chad, flanked by an ibex and a lion, with the inscriptions "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD" as the issuing country, "3000 FRANCS CFA" as the face value, and "999/1000 FINE GOLD" indicating the fineness. The brand-new, Brilliant Uncirculated coin is delivered in a protective blister card (coincard).
Art Meets Substance: Small Format, Real Gold Value
Despite its artistic design, what you are acquiring here is full-fledged investment gold – struck fine gold whose value is measured by the gold price. For many investors, that is precisely the appeal: small amounts of gold allow wealth to be built up step by step, accumulating over the years into a substantial holding. Gold is the world's oldest currency, a proven store of value for over 6,000 years, and thanks to its intrinsic worth has never had a value of zero. It protects against the loss of purchasing power and is recognized worldwide as a means of payment and exchange.
Gold has shone for thousands of years – and will never lose its shine. Whoever owns physical fine gold holds a real asset in their hands, independent of trust in paper money.
Your Advantages at a Glance
- Value Preservation & Wealth Building: Physical fine gold as a proven inflation hedge and reliable crisis protection in economically uncertain times.
- High Liquidity: Gold is tradable worldwide and can be sold at any time – resale is always possible with physical precious metals.
- Tax Advantages: Investment gold is generally exempt from VAT; profits from sale are typically tax-free after a minimum holding period of one year.
- Limited Mintage: The mintage is limited to 50,000 pieces.
- A Genuine Gold Investment to Give as a Gift: Whether for a birthday, christening, or Christmas – here you give not a mere decorative item, but a real asset made of pure gold.
Whether as an introduction to physical gold investment, as an addition to your own holdings, or as a valuable gesture for people close to your heart: the "The Foxes" gold coin from Chad combines the timeless appeal of great art with the enduring security of the precious metal that humanity has trusted since time immemorial.
