Argor Heraeus - Limited Edition - Year of the Horse

The investment gold bars, minted by the Swiss refinery Argor Heraeus SA in the highest purity of 99.99% gold weighing 1 g, celebrate the creatures of the Chinese lunar calendar in a limited edition. The upcoming year 2026 brings the theme for the Year of the Horse.
The high aesthetic level of the product makes it an original gift for your loved ones on many different occasions.

The motif on the front of the 1 g bar remains unchanged and presents the refinery logo, the country of origin "SWITZERLAND", information on the weight and purity of the metal and the serial number including the total number of pieces issued. The color-differentiated certification in a red shade displays firework elements, the refinery logo and name and, like the bar, the serial number including the total number of pieces issued.

According to Chinese legends, the Jade Emperor, the ruler of heaven, decided to create a way to organize time and assign places to the animals in the new zodiac. He therefore announced a great race, in which the order in which the animal representatives arrive at the finish line will determine the place in the cycle. The horse, known for its speed, was among the favorites. It flew across the fields and forests like the wind, leaving most of the competitors behind. When it reached the river, it entered the water without hesitation and headed for the other bank. However, it did not notice that on the river bank it climbed into the horse's mane and let itself be led. Just before the finish line, it jumped out and the horse, which was frightened, stopped for a moment and finally finished fourth.
The character traits of the horse - speed, strength, courage and honor - are reflected in the character of people born under this sign. The upcoming Year of the Horse falls on February 17, 2026 and ends on February 7, 2027.

The obverse of the 1 g bar depicts a detailed motif of a horse, surrounded by Chinese lanterns in the background. Below is the Year of the Horse in Chinese characters. The red certificate with a horse motif in the background states the weight and purity of the metal, the product name “LIMITED EDITION - YEAR OF THE HORSE” and the year of issue “2026”.

The protective case in which the ingot is sealed also serves as a certificate of authenticity.
The total circulation is limited to 18,888 pieces worldwide!
