Description
*Special Note with regards to Supply and Rarity- These 100 oz Silver bars were offered exclusively, and in limited supply by the largest gold and silver bullion dealer in Singapore. After Covid 19 in 2020, regulations prohibit precious metal refineries in China to export out of the country- resulting in no further production and export of these items. Our internal research has revealed that as few as 180 of these 100 oz bars were ever produced and there is no further access to them because of the export restrictions. Additionally, our research indicates that it is likely that the bars offered in this auction are the only ones in the USA making them very rare and unique.
All Tian Xin Yang 100 oz silver bars have their own individual serial number that skips the specific number 4. In Chinese culture, the number 4 is omitted due to the inauspicious (??) associations to similar mandarin phrases.
On the front of the bar, the main base is a glossy finish with a texture matt finishing contrast for the details on the bar. Their signature ? (“gui”) character is translated to mean; "precious", is featured on the top half of the bar. the other description located on the bottom half of the bar indicates the word “Fine Silver”, the weight “100 oz”, the Purity “Ag .9999” and ends off with the serial number.
On the back of the bar, the main base is of the opposite composition; a matte base finishing with a glossy texture for details on the bar. For the design, the mandarin character “?” is dominantly featured in the middle of the bar. Chinese inscriptions on Silver are carved around the main character bordered with an oriental motif.
Bars from TianXinYang (Singapore) are minted by Sichuan Tianze Precious Metals Co. Refinery. Their bars are in the LBMA Good Delivery List.
