A Design That Radiates Strength and Elegance

The obverse of the bar features a majestic rearing horse, framed by traditional Chinese lanterns and floral ornaments. Below it, the Chinese character 馬 (horse) is prominently displayed. The design is struck into the gold with impressive attention to detail – every strand of the mane, every hoof appears lifelike. The vivid red blister with its festive illustrations underscores the cultural significance of the Chinese zodiac sign and makes this bar a true eye-catcher.

The reverse bears the well-known Argor-Heraeus logo, the inscriptions "Switzerland – 5g – Fine Gold 999.9" as well as an individual serial number. Each individual bar is numbered – from 00001 to 18888. This lends the piece a personal touch and documents its authenticity unambiguously.

Why This Bar in Particular Protects Your Wealth

Inflation eats away. Silently, quietly, relentlessly. What is worth 100 euros today may only have the purchasing power of 95 euros tomorrow. This is precisely where the inflation hedge through physical gold comes in. For over 6,000 years, gold has preserved its value – not a single paper currency can claim the same. While central banks around the world print money and inflate the money supply, the supply of gold remains naturally limited. This fundamental imbalance is the reason why gold has historically been particularly sought after whenever confidence in fiat currencies waned.

"Gold is money. Everything else is credit." – J.P. Morgan

And it is precisely this principle that makes the 5g Argor Heraeus bar so valuable. It can be purchased free of VAT, and profits from the sale are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. These are conditions that hardly any other form of investment can offer.

Collector's Heart Meets Investor's Mind

What distinguishes this bar from a classic investment bar? The combination of limited mintage, cultural design and Swiss precision. Collectors of the Lunar series from Argor Heraeus know: these annual editions are sought after. Once the mintage of 18,888 pieces is sold out, there will be no restrike. The horse – a symbol of energy, freedom and success in the Chinese zodiac – lends the bar an emotional depth that goes far beyond its pure material value.

Compared to larger bar formats, the 5-gram format offers a decisive advantage: flexibility. Smaller units are easier to sell, exchange or give as gifts. Those who wish to diversify their portfolio broadly can react far more nimbly with several small bars than with a single large piece. At the same time, the entry price remains manageable – ideal for anyone who wishes to invest in gold on a regular basis.

Secure your piece before the limited mintage becomes a piece of history.
