Oxen are highly-valued and respected animals in Chinese culture. Human civilizations first harnessed the ox for its power and reliability around 4,000 BCE to help work fields and drive carts. The ox is associated with various parts of Chinese culture, including the Earthly Branch and the hours of 1 AM to 3 AM each day. When viewed in terms of yin and yang, the Ox is considered the yang.

Due to the hardworking, reliable nature of the ox, those born under the sign of the ox are said to share some of those characteristics. As an ox works hard in the fields for no significant reward, those born under the sign have a general attitude that they should do what is asked of them and stay in line. Like the dependable ox, those born under the sign of the ox rarely lose their temper and think logically.

Obverse design elements of 5 Gram Argor-Heraeus Lunar Ox Gold Bars include a depiction of the ox. The powerful ox is depicted with its head lifted and its long horns pointed toward the sky. Above its head, the Chinese symbol for the ox is engraved.

The reverse field of the 5 Gram Argor-Heraeus Lunar Ox Gold Bar features the Argor-Heraeus logo as the primary design element. The design field has engravings and inscriptions arranged vertically from the top to the bottom, with the Argor logo at the top and inscriptions of the nation of issue, weight, metal content, purity, and assayers stamp below. The individual serial number is also inscribed on this face of the bar.

These 5 Gram Argor-Heraeus Lunar Ox Gold Bars are available to you for purchase with individual packaging. Each bar comes inside of its own blistercard with a capsule space for the bar and an included assay card.
