History
This beautiful gold bar aims to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year and important annual festivals in China, as well as anyone born in the Chinese Year of the Pig. The ancient Chinese myth claims that the Jade Emperor had to decide the order of the animals for the calendar. Not knowing how to go about it, he decided to allocate a place according to the order of arrival of the animals at his royal holiday. The Monkey, the Dog, and the Rooster were outside the Empire chasing evil spirits and bringing peace and prosperity to the kingdom. Because of this, they arrived together. The Jade Emperor was impressed by their great act and honored the animals with their position.
