Designs

1 Tael Gold Bars in this listing will have designs that vary by the mint of origin and the program. Examples of possible designs include the Credit Suisse Chinese Dragon with an image of the mythical beast on the obverse field, or the PAMP Suisse Gold Bar with the PAMP logo featured on the obverse along with markings of the weight, purity, metal content, and serial number. Keep in mind that these are just examples of possible imagery.

The 1 Tael Gold Bars available here could feature either engraved designs or incuse struck images. Most minted ingots have engraved designs with raised, 3D relief on the visual elements. Cast gold bars come with incuse designs that have images sunk into the surface of the bars. Most of these bars have designs on just one side, but it is also possible to receive a bar with images on both sides.

History

There are various different names across Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and other Southeast Asian tongues that refer to the Tael, but most are rooted in the Chinese Tael. The Chinese Tael was used in a system of weight measurements and for currency. The Tael is still used in Chinese herbal medicine stores and gold and silver exchanges.
