This bar is the second issue in a series of minted bullion which tells the legendary stories related to the 12 animals of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. In 2025 we tell the story of the White Snake. After a thousand years of Taoist training, the white snake Bai Suzhen was granted the power to become a human woman. She then searched for Xu Xian to repay him for his bravery that saved her in a past life. They soon fell in love and married. But the monk Fahai discovered her identity and convinced Xu Xian to trick his wife into revealing her true form, and he died of shock. Desperate, Bai Suzhen stole an immortal herb from Heaven and revived him. Fahai found the couple and imprisoned Bai Suzhen in a fortress pagoda where she gave birth to a son. Once grown, he freed his mother, and the family was happily reunited. Housed in a brilliant red CertiPAMP™ assay card accompanied by a gift sleeve this 1oz 999.9 pure gold bar has a beautiful proof-like finish and is individually serialized.
