{{/presale}}There is little doubt that lunar-themed bullion products are the hottest items out there right now. From bullion and collectible proof coins to gold bullion bars, lunar-themed designs are grabbing a lot of attention and are increasingly offered by a growing list of mints and refineries. Today, you have the chance to purchase 10 Gram Gold Lunar Rat Bars from Argor Heraeus at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Argor Heraeus Lunar Gold bars come with individual serial numbers on the bar and assay card inside of the sealed plastic card packaging for the bar. One side of the assay card includes a festive background celebrating the 2020 Year of the Rat and has the individual serial number listed as X/3888, denoting the specific number of that bar and the total allotment produced. The other side of the assay card has the weight, metal content, purity, assayers mark, assayers signature, and a stenciled rat in the lower corner.
Obverse
On the obverse of 10 Gram Gold Lunar Rat Bar is the intricate design of a rat. The full body of the rat is visible with only its tail curling off, and then back onto, the design field of the bar. The intricate details of the design even include individual hairs in the fur of the rat.
Reverse
The reverse of the 10 Gram Gold Lunar Rat Bar includes the Argor Heraeus logo at the top of the design field. This is included at the top of the bar, with the other inscriptions listed vertically down the bar including the weight, metal content, purity, and individual serial number for the gold bar.
History
The Chinese Lunar Calendar is better known as the Zodiac. This 12-year cycle includes a different animal assigned to each year and its characteristics are often assigned to those born under each animals sign. The Year of the Rat is the first in the 12-year cycle and the rat is first because mythology suggests it won the Great Race among the animals to meet the Jade Emperor.

10 Gram Gold Lunar Rat Bars from Argor Heraeus are packaged individually inside of sealed cards that include the assay card within the packaging. Each bar is in brand-new condition from the mint.
