The Gold Luck is a 2027 Cook Islands four leaf clover gold coin: 1 gram of gold in proof finish, with a real four-leaf clover sealed at its center. The reverse carries the Cook Islands coat of arms, and the mintage is 2,027 pieces.
Luck, struck in a gram of gold
Where the silver Ounce of Luck frames its clover in a wide floral border, the Gold Luck lets the leaf fill the coin: a genuine four-leaf clover, dark green against the gold field, under the GOLD LUCK legend and the 2027 date. It is the purest form of the idea in the Cook Islands’ 2027 luck series — the full story of which is in our four leaf clover coin guide.
At 1 gram, it also sits in the fractional-gold world: small, giftable pieces of gold whose sizes and formats our 1 gram gold bar size guide puts in perspective.

Its smaller golden companions
The same series includes the Golden Highlights pair — a clover-shaped and a heart-shaped coin at 0.5 gram of gold each, mintages of 15,000. They carry no embedded leaf; the luck is in the shape itself. Both are pictured and compared in the series guide.
What the gold is worth
One gram of gold at a spot price of $130.92 per gram is about $130.92 of metal — the floor under the Gold Luck before its proof finish, sealed clover and 2,027-piece mintage. Fractional gold always carries a higher premium per gram than full ounces; that premium is the price of the format, and it is why pieces like this are gifts and keepsakes first and bullion second. For fractional gold in bar form, see the fractional gold starter set.
Data by Bullion Price Check — gold spot $130.92/g as of Nov 8, 2026 (18:57 UTC). Spot excludes shipping and tax and is not a selling price.
Frequently asked questions
Is the clover in the Gold Luck coin real?
Yes. A genuine four-leaf clover is sealed at the center of each 1 gram gold proof, so no two coins’ leaves are identical.
How many Gold Luck coins were made?
The mintage is 2,027 pieces, matching the coin’s 2027 date — the same limit as the silver Ounce of Luck.
How much gold is in the Gold Luck coin?
It contains 1 gram of gold in proof finish — about $130.92 of metal at current spot, before the collector premium a limited proof carries.
What is the difference between Gold Luck and Ounce of Luck?
Same idea, different metal and scale: the Ounce of Luck is 1 oz of silver with the clover in a floral border; the Gold Luck is 1 gram of gold with the clover filling the field.
