Box of 25 - 5 gram PAMP Suisse Year of the Monkey Gold Bar (In Assay)

 

Please note this bar may come with one of two assay card versions. Bars originally released during their corresponding Lunar Zodiac year feature the year and zodiac animal written on the assay card. Bars issued later by PAMP Suisse as part of the complete 12-bar Lunar Zodiac collection, after the 12-year cycle, come in assay cards that do not display the year or zodiac animal. The only difference between these versions is the assay card packaging; the gold bars themselves retain the same original designs, intricate details, weight, and purity, regardless of which version they come with.

Bring a playful touch of Chinese lunar tradition to your gold collection with the Box of 25 - 5 gram PAMP Suisse Year of the Monkey Gold Bar (In Assay)! Created by the renowned Swiss refinery PAMP Suisse, this 25-piece collection celebrates the 2016 Year of the Monkey with detailed artwork capturing the animal's curious and energetic personality. Each bar contains 5 grams of .9999 fine gold, providing a total of 125 grams of precious metal. Individually sealed in red CertiPAMP assay packaging, these gold bars offer an appealing combination of Swiss quality, distinctive design, and the enduring symbolism of the Chinese zodiac.

The Monkey occupies the ninth position in the Chinese zodiac, following the Goat and preceding the Rooster. Unlike animals traditionally associated with physical strength or patience, the Monkey is celebrated for its intelligence, creativity, adaptability, and playful personality. These qualities have made it a popular figure in Chinese stories, artwork, and cultural celebrations.

One of the most famous monkeys in Chinese literature is Sun Wukong, the Monkey King from the classic novel Journey to the West. Known for his extraordinary abilities, clever tricks, and rebellious spirit, this legendary character reflects many of the characteristics traditionally associated with the zodiac Monkey. His adventures have inspired generations of storytelling, theater, and visual art.
