The hallmark side carries the circular Argor-Heraeus SA logo above stamped inscriptions reading Switzerland, 10 g, Fine Gold, and 999,9, followed by the Melter Assayer mark and the bar’s individual number in the series of 18,888. The lunar side answers with a snake coiled across the full face, its body winding in overlapping loops rendered scale by scale against a crosshatched background of reeds. The Chinese character 蛇, meaning snake, is set in a dark cartouche near the base. In the Chinese zodiac, the snake stands for wisdom, intuition, and quiet determination, themes the tightly wound composition captures well.
The bar arrives sealed in a bright red assay card decorated with golden fireworks. The card certifies the 10 gram weight, 999.9 fineness, and assayer’s signature, notes the Limited Edition Year of the Snake 2025 designation, and repeats the bar’s serial number on the front, with a Swiss Made mark on the reverse. Keeping the seal intact preserves both condition and certification.
Lunar gold bars from major Swiss refiners sell through quickly once their zodiac year passes, and a numbered run of 18,888 will not linger. Order the 2025 Argor-Heraeus Snake 10 gram Gold Bar today, whether for your stack or for someone starting theirs.
