Pamp Suisse Lunar 2021 Ox 5g Gold 999.9 - Cond: A+

As always, the Lunar Calendar series ingots arrived sealed within striking red, CertiPAMP packaging; red being the traditional color of gift-giving throughout the Chinese New Year.

The reverse side depicts a powerful Ox as it pauses from its work to drink from a calm pool of water, which also reflects its image, indicating the Ox’s thoughtful, self-reflective nature.

The obverse side reveals that beyond the hill, ‘big things’ await in the form of a wooden cart nearly overflowing with gold coins. Indeed, metals such as gold are strongly associated with the 2021 Lunar Year. A detached wheel seems to await repair, but here too, the Ox is aware that in due time, all will be set right. Throughout many cultures, the wheel represents the cycles of time, and the patient Ox has faith in its high work ethic, strength and endurance.
