More than just a long and fascinating deep dive into the story of the most iconic of rare metals, this is also an introduction to knowledge — the kind that’s serious, verifiable, and enriching.
It’s the kind of insight that, through future articles, will not only add value to you, but will shape this editorial line into a precious resource for anyone ready to begin their own relationship with gold.

With gold, it’s easy to talk about the future — because gold understands time. It holds it. We can talk about the past too, and when I say that with golstarfire project ourselves far ahead, I really do mean far… So just to show you how far back this story goes, let me tell you once, just once:



Long before humankind ever dreamt of gold, the universe forged it in its most violent and magnificent moments.
Billions of years ago, in the fiery hearts of massive stars, lighter elements fused to create heavier ones — but gold, dense and precious, demanded something even more extraordinary. When these ancient giants reached the end of their lives, they exploded in supernovae, scattering stardust across galaxies.
Yet scientists now believe that the largest birthplaces of gold were not just supernovae but the cosmic collisions of neutron stars — unimaginably dense stellar remnants spinning in space. When two of these titanic cores collided, the energy released was so intense that it forged precious metals like gold and platinum in a single, dazzling burst of light.
From these stellar cataclysms, gold drifted through space as dust, seeding young planets like Earth. Over eons, it sank deep into the molten core and rose again through volcanic forces, waiting to be discovered by dreamers and adventurers. So when you hold a gold coin or wear a golden ring, you carry in your hands the trace of a collision that shook the fabric of the universe — a piece of starfire that has travelled billions of years just to rest with you.

Gold does not come from our world — it comes from the stars. It’s hard to imagine a more beautiful reason for its timeless success: billions of tonnes of golden dust drifting across the universe, lingering a little longer, perhaps, on our blue planet. And if we are to believe the global institution that watches over this extraordinary, extraterrestrial metal, humanity, since its very first encounter with physical gold, has unearthed around 200,000 tonnes of pure gold from the Earth.

Of all that gold discovered and mined, roughly 20% has been melted down and transformed in the ateliers of the world’s jewellers — crafted into rings, heirlooms, and treasures that capture starlight on our skin. The rest lies in official reserves — vast vaults of security for the global financial system. Millions of bars of pure gold, stacked with perfect precision in the strongrooms of central banks and sovereign reserves. When I say gold is the piece you want to play for your future investments — this is what I mean.

So, a word about the global institution that reigns over this yellow metal…
Imagine a place out of time: a modern cathedral of gold, bathed in warm amber light — not a vault full of treasure, but a tower of watchful minds.

An introduction, then, to the king of metals — a treasure born in distant corners of the universe, here to enrich those lucky enough to cross its path. In this series of stories, we’ll be guided by more than 50 years of expertise — a solid, highly respected reference that knows this metal inside out: in bars, in raw nuggets, and even in rare coins.

These coins are more than just precious metal; they are witnesses to our history, carrying gold by weight and stories by engraving. They bear the faces and symbols of figures who once changed the world — heads and tails telling tales of empires, revolutions, and dreams. Some of these coins are worth a fortune — and soon, that fortune could be within your reach too.

So stay tuned for this golden story, unfolding right here in Brussels…
