A Shaped Gold Tribute to Feudal Japan
The Bushido Samurai Mask brings sculptural detail to a fractional gold format. Struck in .9999 fine gold and cut to the silhouette of a samurai kabuto helmet, it combines the accessibility of a 1/1000 oz piece with the kind of full-color, high-relief artwork usually reserved for far larger releases. It is limited to 6,999 pieces worldwide.
Design Details
The obverse depicts a complete menpō, the lacquered war mask worn beneath a samurai helmet, rendered in vivid color with a bared-teeth oni-style expression meant to intimidate on the battlefield. Gold filigree and floral patterning cover the surrounding armor plates, and a set emerald-cut green gem sits at the crown. Gold tassels frame either side, and the kanji characters 侍武士 appear alongside the title SAMURAI in bold gold lettering.
The reverse carries the shaped gold piece itself, following the same helmet profile with extended shoulder guards. It is engraved with SAMURAI, the kanji characters 侍武士, and the specifications 1/1000 .9999 GOLD 2026 in a warm satin gold finish.

Bushido Samurai Mask FAQ
Does this come with a separate certificate of authenticity?
No. The Certificate Card it ships in is the certificate of authenticity. The year, metal, fineness, weight, and mintage are printed directly on the card, so there is no separate document included or needed.
Is the Bushido Samurai Mask real gold?
Yes. It is struck in .9999 fine gold at 1/1000 troy ounce, with the weight and purity confirmed on the Certificate Card itself.
Is this a bullion purchase or a collectible?
This is a collectible. At 1/1000 oz, its value comes from its limited mintage of 6,999, its full-color design, and its shaped format, not from gold weight alone.
How many were made?
Mintage is strictly limited to 6,999 pieces.
