2018 1 oz Gold Bar - PAMP Suisse Year of the Dog (In Assay)

---

This modern gold bar, minted in 2018, celebrates the Year of the Dog with an uncommonly clever design concept. Struck from one troy ounce of 0.9999 fine gold, the bar honors the eleventh animal in the Chinese zodiac cycle. Those born under this sign are traditionally associated with traits of loyalty, compatibility, and kindness. What makes this particular bar fascinating is its narrative-driven, front-to-back design. The front side depicts a single dog standing alertly in front of its doghouse. When you turn the bar over, the reverse side reveals the opposite view of the very same scene. From this rear perspective, we see the back of the adult dog, while a small puppy is visible nestled safely inside the doghouse entryway. The reverse side also features the technical specifications of the bar, including its weight of one troy ounce and its high purity of 999.9 gold. The Year of the Dog occurs in a twelve-year cycle, with recent and historical years including 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, and 2018.
