Small, shiny, enduring in value. With the Phoenix 2026 from the "Mythical Creatures" series, you receive half a gram of the purest fine gold. Its value is based on the gold price, it can be traded worldwide, and it can be sold again at any time. Kettner Edelmetalle crafted this edition in Proof minting quality and limited the mintage. The Phoenix, as it is named in the inscription, gives the coin its personal touch. But the substance is provided by the precious metal.

The design: Rebirth from fire

Since antiquity, the phoenix has been regarded as a symbol of renewal and permanence. According to legend, the firebird burns at the end of its life and rises anew from its own ashes. The obverse captures exactly this moment: with wings spread wide, the phoenix rises above rocky ground, flames flickering beneath it. Every single feather is finely worked. To the right stands the inscription "PHOENIX 0.5 g FINE GOLD".

The reverse shows the head of the phoenix in a striking close-up: a piercing gaze, a powerful beak, and plumage that seamlessly transitions into flames. Beside it, a large feather with fire ornaments sweeps across. The surrounding inscriptions read "25 DOLLARS · 2026" and "Republic of Liberia", complemented by the Liberian coat of arms. A reeded edge completes the coin. It is delivered in a vividly designed coincard. On the front of the card, a phoenix blazes against a lunar backdrop, while the back bears the words "For eternity."

Investment gold instead of a themed piece: What counts is the fine gold value

The design is expressive, but what you are acquiring here is, above all, one thing: full-fledged investment gold. The value of this gold coin is based primarily on its fine gold content and moves in line with the gold price. The small denomination makes it easier to get started with physical gold investment. And small amounts of gold add up over the years into a considerable fortune, piece by piece, without requiring you to commit a lot of capital at once.

Gold is the oldest currency in the world. Even in ancient Egypt it served as a unit of measure in trade, and for over 6,000 years it has proven itself as a store of value. It also played a major historical role: it was used as a means of payment along the Silk Road, and in the 19th and 20th centuries many currencies were directly tied to the precious metal through the gold standard. Gold has never had a value of zero, as it possesses an inherent, intrinsic value. It is not without reason that central banks are among the largest holders of gold in the world. Many investors also value the metal as an inflation hedge and as crisis protection. In addition, this coin is VAT-free, and profits from its sale are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

The phoenix does not perish, it renews itself. Gold has the same quality: it has been shining for thousands of years and will never lose its shine.

In comparison: Where the Phoenix 2026 plays to its strengths

Anyone wishing to buy small amounts of gold has the choice between bars and coins. A 1 g gold bar contains slightly more material. However, it has neither the Proof minting quality nor the status of an official means of payment with a face value. The Phoenix 2026 offers both: the finest German minting craftsmanship and pure fine gold. The previous edition, "Majestic Phoenix" 2025, was issued with a mintage of 5,000 pieces and a diameter of 11 mm. The new edition is noticeably larger at 14.00 mm and considerably more limited with only 500 pieces. For your calculations, keep in mind: with small denominations, the premium per gram is naturally higher than with a full ounce. In return, the amount per purchase remains manageable, allowing you to build up your gold holdings flexibly.

Give a genuine gold investment as a gift

For a christening, birthday, wedding, or Christmas: give the gift of genuine investment gold. With this Phoenix, you present an asset of value that can endure for generations. Despite the personal occasion, what you are acquiring here is full-fledged investment gold, that is, minted fine gold whose value is based on the gold price. The coincard reliably protects the coin and preserves its flawless condition.
