    Anyone got any information about this ingot? Was given to my mum decades ago. Can't seem to find any information about the mouse on the back of the ingot.

    I saw a 5g yesterday with dragon at the back so it could be some kind series(lunar?) and I think they are rare.

    This looks to be a Maneki-neko (beckoning cat) good luck symbol themed one.

    I was thinking it might be a lunar series as well but could not find anything online. Gave up after about a hour haha.

    So I emailed Suisse Gold Customer Service, who informed me that it was a bar produced by Valacambi for Credit Suisse in 1984 "Year of the Rat"

    Another favorite is this 5oz Engelhard that was shrink wrapped on a piece of cardboard and slides in a cool maroon holder. The bar is pristine.
    Has anyone seen another 5oz like this? 20200802_225019.jpg

    I've only ever seen 2.5oz size in gold bars coming from Australia. I wonder if there is a story behind that.
