Minox A Gold

The Minox A Gold is a gold-plated special-edition variant of the Minox A subminiature camera, made for the collector and presentation market rather than as a working tool. Like other Minox A-series bodies, it uses the 8×11mm Minox subminiature film format. Its positioning when new was as a luxury object, typically sold in a presentation case alongside matching accessories.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Minox A Gold have ranged from roughly £1,600 to £4,600, with a median close to £2,900 across the recorded saleroom results — these are wholesale hammer figures, not retail or dealer asking prices. As of today in 2026, what a Minox A Gold is worth depends heavily on plating condition, mechanical function and the presence of the original case and chain. Recorded UK auction data specifically for the gold variant is thin, so individual results sit across a wide band rather than clustering tightly around the median.
