PAMP Suisse Silver Bar 1 oz - 2013 Snake Design

Headquartered in Switzerland, Pamp Suisse is recognized throughout the world primarily for its gold products. The company recently began minting silver bars, which are now as prized by collectors and investors as the company’s gold due to the care and precision that goes into each bar. Although Pamp Suisse’s silver bars are comparatively expensive, due to the artistry and workmanship of each design as well as the security features on each bar. Additionally, each bar comes with a certificate and each will be encased in plastic.

Another addition in Pamp Suisse’s tremendously popular Lunar Calendar Series, the 2013 Year of the Snake silver ingot continues the company’s tradition of outstanding artistry and craftsmanship. The bar features an intriguing front-to-back design, with the snake coiled around a column on both sides. The bar honors the wealth and success which, according to the Chinese zodiac, is attributed to the snake. In Chinese astrology, the snake is also respected as a symbol of grace and intelligence. The column is engraved with the Chinese character for snake. The tree is stamped with the Pamp Suisse logo, 1 oz silver 999, and a unique serial number. The assay card carries the same serial number, assuring the authenticity and quality of the ingot.

The Pamp Suisse Lunar Calendar Series bars are highly collectible, and make a fine gift for anyone born in the Year of the Snake: 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, and 2013.

Founded in 1977 in Ticino, Switzerland, Pamp Suisse is recognized as one of the world’s leading bullion brands. Bars are produced in the company’s technologically advanced refinery, and their quality is assured. Pamp is an acronym for Produits Artistiques de Metaux Precieux (Artistic Products of Precious Metals). They are prized throughout the world for their superior beauty and craftsmanship.

Silver is an unappreciated opportunity for investors. Traditionally overshadowed by gold, silver has—in recent years—outpaced gold’s earnings. Much of the gold that is produced is hoarded, while silver is increasingly used in electronics and manufacturing. With at least minor amounts of silver in virtually all electronics, more than half of the silver produced goes into industrial manufacturing. At least trace amounts of silver are used in everything from polyester to cell phones. Silver is also used in the production of solar panels, a technology which is likely to increase. Additionally, silver is widely used in medical technologies and treatments. The demand for these products, particularly electronics, far exceeds the current rate of recycling, another factor which encourages the continued increase of silver prices. Silver has long been appreciated by investors who appreciate its comparative affordability as well as its compact size (which make it easy to store and transport), silver is increasingly sought after because of its role in industrial technology. With that role being continually expanded, silver offers an excellent alternative for investors as well as collectors.
