Neuschwanstein Castle Monuments 1 Oz 5 Cedis Silver Coin Ghana 2026

A fairy-tale castle that fits in your hand

Picture a castle that looks as if it has stepped straight out of a fairy tale: slender white towers, soaring roofs and walls perched on a rocky cliff above the valley, with the snow-capped Alps behind. This is Neuschwanstein – Germany's most famous castle, the symbol of Bavaria and one of the most photographed places in Europe. More than a million visitors from all over the world come here every year. Now this extraordinary landmark can become part of your collection – struck in pure silver.

The dream of the “Fairy-Tale King”

The castle was born from the vision of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, known as the “Fairy-Tale King”. Fascinated by medieval legends and the operas of Richard Wagner, he began building his romantic residence in Schwangau in 1869. He spared neither money nor imagination – he wanted a place where he could escape politics into a world of knights, swans and legends. The king did not live to see his work completed, but his dream survived and still enchants people around the world. Neuschwanstein was the inspiration for the famous Sleeping Beauty castle in Disney films.

A coin cut to the shape of the castle

This coin is not round. It is struck precisely to the silhouette of the castle – with its towers, battlements and roofs. In the “Grand Vision. Highest Precision. Monuments” series, the architecture itself becomes the centrepiece of the design. On 1 oz of .999 fine silver the minters have captured remarkably rich detail: façades, rows of windows, towers and defensive walls. The antique finish brings out the depth of the relief and gives the coin a noble character, as if it came straight from a royal treasury.

Preciform Contour technique – the castle in three dimensions

The real surprise is the reverse. Thanks to the Preciform Contour technique, the outline of the castle is engraved there as a mirror image of the obverse. As you turn the coin in your hands and hold it to the light, the castle seems to gain a third dimension. This rarely seen solution makes the coin look like a miniature sculpture rather than an ordinary disc.

Only 999 pieces worldwide

The mintage is limited to just 999 pieces worldwide. It is the start of a new series dedicated to the world's most famous buildings – collectors who begin with Neuschwanstein will own the very first coin of the series. With such a small mintage, the coin quickly disappears from the market and later becomes hard to find at its issue price.
