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
Cleopatra, 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
According to Plutarch, Cleopatra VII was the first of her dynasty to learn Egyptian; the kings before her had not even tried. Scholars view her many languages with scepticism.
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
Uraeus
The rearing cobra with its flared hood was worn on the forehead and was regarded as a sign of protection.

With the Cleopatra edition, you add genuine gold in miniature format to your portfolio. The coin belongs to the "History" series and combines an iconic motif of Egyptian antiquity with the enduring value of physical fine gold. As artful as the design may be – at its core, you are acquiring full-fledged investment gold here: the value is based primarily on the fine gold content and moves in line with the gold price. The design is the personal touch, the precious metal is the actual substance.
A Design That Tells a Story
The obverse shows Cleopatra, the last active ruler of Ptolemaic Egypt (51–30 BC), in a striking profile. Elaborately braided hair, traditional headdress, and finely crafted details bring the visual language of ancient Egypt to life; hieroglyphs artfully frame the portrait. The opposite side bears the national emblem of the Republic of Chad, the inscription "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD", the face value "3000 FRANCS CFA", as well as the fineness indication "999/1000 FINE GOLD". The compact format highlights just how much craftsmanship can be packed into the smallest of spaces.
Small Gold Coin, Great Substance
Small gold coins in particular are excellently suited for building physical wealth step by step and with a manageable investment. Gold is the oldest currency in the world and has been a proven store of value for over 6,000 years – it possesses intrinsic value and has never been worth zero. As a physical tangible asset, gold offers reliable protection against inflation and also serves as crisis protection against political and economic uncertainties. It is no coincidence that the world's central banks are among the largest holders of gold.
- Value preservation: gold protects against loss of purchasing power and retains its shine for generations.
- High liquidity: recognized worldwide, tradable and resalable at any time.
- Diversification: as a tangible asset, a sensible addition that broadens your physical precious metal holdings.
- Tax advantage: investment gold is exempt from VAT at the time of purchase; capital gains are generally tax-free after a minimum holding period of one year.
For Investors and Anyone Wanting to Give a Genuine Gold Investment as a Gift
The low denomination of 1/1000 oz makes this edition an ideal entry point into physical gold investment – and a tangible way to pass on genuine fine gold. Whether for a birthday, christening, or Christmas: here you are not giving away a mere souvenir, but a genuine asset made of 999 fine gold. Small amounts of gold add up over the years to form a considerable holding and can easily be passed on to the next generation.
Gold has been shining for thousands of years – and will not lose its luster in the future either. With the strictly limited Cleopatra coin, you secure pure fine gold in a design that puts the fascination of ancient Egypt right in your hand.
The mintage of only 50,000 pieces worldwide is manageable, and the fine gold content is always clearly assessable. Anyone who values physical gold in small, easily divisible units will find the Cleopatra Gold Coin an equally expressive and substantial addition to their own precious metal holdings.
