To celebrate the year 2015, Ohio Precious Metals has released the continuation of its Chinese Zodiac Calendar series, the 5 oz Silver Year of the Goat Bar. This bar consists of 5 ounces of .999 Fine Silver, and was minted with the premier standards that the silver bullion industry has come to expect from OPM.

OPM is an IRA approved facility (ISO9001), which means each 5 oz Silver Year of the Goat bar is qualified for inclusion in a precious metals IRA. Each bar will ship in new condition in a protective plastic sleeve.

The Chinese zodiac is a 12-year calendar, with each year represented by an animal. Each animal has a set of personality traits that are commonly present in a person born during that year.

The goat is the 8th animal in the Lunar Calendar, which runs from Feb. 19, 2015 through Feb. 7, 2016. The attributes that best describe individuals born during the year of the goat are creative, honest, calm, gentle and thoughtful. Consequently, occupations that involve creativity, such as actor, teacher, musician and editor are best suited to those born during the year of the goat.

While those born during the year of the goat are hard working, considerate and persistent, their weaknesses are often pessimism, timidness, and indecision.

The obverse of this 5 oz silver bar features the striking image of a goat standing on a hilly mountaintop. Its two front legs stand just above the inscriptions “2015,” “YEAR OF THE GOAT,” “10 OUNCES TROY” and “.999 SILVER.” The Chinese symbol of the goat is engraved at the bottom left of the design. A diagonal pattern is repeated across the reverse.

The OPM 2015 5 oz Silver Year of the Goat Bar is an attractive and whimsical way to invest in Silver Bullion. Privately Minted Silver Bullion is an inexpensive way to invest in precious metals, and OPM has a tradition of minting high quality silver products.
