5g PAMP Lunar Legends Azure Dragon Gold Bar | 2024

The year 2024, within the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, begins with the azure dragon, which, according to legend, is the ruler of rain, ensuring a bountiful harvest. In contrast to Western perceptions where dragons are often associated with fear, this animal in Chinese culture symbolizes positive energy, success, and luck. Additionally, it represents majesty and power. The Swiss refinery PAMP has dedicated itself to this Chinese zodiac symbolism, drawing inspiration from Chinese mythology.

The Front

You see the depiction of a rather fearsome dragon that appears to be leaping towards the viewer. On the bottom left, you recognize the Chinese character for "dragon."

The Reverse

At the top center, you see the logo of the PAMP refinery. Below that are the inscriptions: "SUISSE, 5 g GOLD," and the fineness "999.9." Prominently featured is the moon, surrounded by many stars. Below, you read the manufacturer's mark "ESSAYEUR FONDEUR," which translates to "assayer and smelter" in English.
