Eye of Ra
In the myth the Eye went away and only returned once wine, music and dance had calmed it; in this way the Egyptians explained the yearly journey of the sun to the south and back.

Gold and silver on the Nile
Nefertiti, 1/1,000 ounce gold, obverse
Just 11 × 15.4 millimetres in size, with the coat of arms of Chad on the back.
In ancient Egypt
Flesh and bones of the gods
To the Egyptians, gold and silver were more than metal: they could stand for the flesh and the bones of the gods, for the sun and the moon.
Gold was linked with the gods and the deified dead because it lasts; silver, for its pale colour, with the moon and with ritual purity.
In the land of the pharaohs
Five faces of ancient Egypt
The name Nefertiti means “the beautiful one has come”. She had six daughters with Akhenaten, one of whom later married Tutankhamun.
Four faces from the series of Chad appear in this world: Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Hatshepsut and Ramesses II.
The fifth face of this world, Tutankhamun, appears on the coins of the Perth Mint and the bars from Liberia. His tomb was found largely intact.

Gold from Nubia and the Eastern Desert
The Egyptian word for gold, nbw, is reflected in the ancient name of Nubia.

The map of the gold mines
Around 1150 BC a map of the Wadi Hammamat was made for a quarrying expedition of Ramesses IV, one of the earliest known maps. According to the geologist James Harrell, it bears labels such as “hills where gold is found” and “hills of gold and silver”.
It is regarded as the oldest known geological map; the next known one only appears in the sources some 29 centuries later.
Silver and the moon
For long, silver was worth more than gold
Temple inscriptions from much of Egypt’s history point to this.
Giza · wonder of the ancient world
Built for eternity
The Pyramid of Khufu is the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. Its ancient name was Akhet Khufu, “the Horizon of Khufu”.
Signs of the Nile
What the signs meant
The same signs return on the pieces of this world. This is how major museums describe their meaning in ancient Egypt.
Wedjat eye
“Wedjat” means “the one that is sound”: in the myth Seth injured or stole the eye of Horus, and Thoth restored it.

Scarab
Scarabs with the name and title of their owner often served as seals: their underside was pressed into a lump of clay.

Ankh
As a hieroglyph the ankh wrote the words “live” and “life”; as a symbol it stood for life.
On a pyramid from Djibouti

Few faces of antiquity are as iconic as that of Nefertiti. The gold coins of the "History" series capture this face in the purest fine gold – and that is precisely the real reason to buy: the value of this Nefertiti gold coin is based primarily on its gold content and moves with the gold price. The artistic design is the personal touch, the precious metal is the actual substance.
A Design of Timeless Fascination
Nefertiti – "the beautiful one has come" – was the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten and is one of the most famous women in world history. The reverse of the coin shows her portrait along with the inscription "NEFERTITI". Finely rendered, you can make out the characteristic tall crown, the elegantly curved neck, and the magnificent collar. The obverse bears the national emblem of Chad, flanked by a mountain goat and a lion, along with the inscriptions "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", the face value "3000 FRANCS CFA", and the fineness statement "999/1000 FINE GOLD". The unusual, tall rectangular format showcases the design like a small golden mural. This gold coin is minted by Valcambi, one of the world's most renowned refineries – a guarantee of precision and certified purity.
Why Physical Gold Is a Smart Investment
Gold is humanity's oldest currency and has outlasted every paper currency. It is a scarce commodity with limited supply, tradable worldwide, and endowed with intrinsic value – throughout its history, gold has never been worth zero. Even in ancient Egypt, Nefertiti's homeland, gold served as a unit of trade; to this day, central banks hold it as a reserve. As a proven store of value, this precious metal has shone for over 6,000 years and protects against the loss of purchasing power.
- Value preservation & inflation hedge: gold safeguards against currency devaluation and exchange rate risks.
- Crisis protection: physical precious metal offers security in politically and economically uncertain times.
- Building wealth in small steps: this 1/1,000 oz coin is an affordable entry point into physical gold investment – small amounts of gold add up over the years to a substantial fortune.
- High liquidity: gold can be traded, resold, and converted into cash at any time.
- Tax advantage: profits from the sale of gold are generally tax-free after a minimum holding period of one year.
Compared to larger bullion coins, the Nefertiti gold coin scores with its low unit price and strict limitation to 50,000 pieces worldwide. Those who prefer to save in larger units can turn to 1 oz classics; those who want to build up fine gold holdings in manageable steps will find this small coin the ideal building block. Either way, you acquire genuine, globally recognized gold.
Give the gift of genuine investment gold for a christening, birthday, or wedding: despite the personal occasion, you receive full-value fine gold here, whose value tracks the gold price – not a mere keepsake, but a solid investment in pure gold.
