In Switzerland, apart from the government-owned Swissmint, there are also some private mints producing bullion which is not legal tender and is targeted at investors and not at coin collectors, such as this 5g gold piece.
This five-gram gold bar dedicated to the 2024 Chinese Lunar Year of the Dragon (10 February 2024 - 28 January 2025) is part of a range of bullion products by Argor-Heraeus marking the years of the Chinese Lunar Calendar.
2024 marks the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac. Specifically, 2024 was the Year of the Wood Dragon, an event that happens once every 60 years. |
