Description: In Stock and Ready for Immediate Shipment! Long SOLD OUT at the Perth Mint! The naked Oriana, Goddess of Gold, really shines through on this pure yet affordable 1 gram .9999 fine gold bar! This is an original, first generation Oriana ingot, and not a modern restrike; as such it is truly rare! All bar and ingot collectors need this historic pure gold rarity! The Goddess of Gold, Oriana, kneels before the most precious of metals with head bowed, the bouquet of blossoms in her hands a fitting offering. Often considered the most beautiful ingot design of all time, it's no wonder bar collectors and savvy investors alike don't think twice when they encounter an original Oriana Gold Bar! The Perth Mint's old logo with the realistic, left-facing swan on the reverse gives this rarity away. Important Historical Note—These are not the modern Oriana gold bars, struck in large numbers for worldwide export. Rather, these are the truly rare early, original Oriana bars, struck by Australia's Perth Mint in tiny, tiny numbers primarily for domestic use. Please note the classic, historic Swan Logo on the reverse. This is the so-called "original" or "old" logo, with left-facing, realistic swan and banner. The "new," revised, "modern" logo has a stylized swan facing right. Grab it while you can! If you like Oriana (and who doesn't), you like gold, the deep, warm, rich, brilliant and incorruptible metal for which she is named. You probably already know that Oriana has long been considered to be a poetic name or allegory for Queen Elizabeth I of England. Recent scholarship, however, is asserting that it actually might refer to Princess Anne of Denmark, who would marry King James VI of Scotland and become Queen Anne of England. Who knew? Obverse A nude and supplicant Oriana clutches a bouquet of flowers. There are no legends on this side to disturb the beauty of the vignette. Reverse The Perth Mint's classic logo with left-facing, realistic swan with banner and the legend EST. 1899. The legend 99.99% PURE GOLD 1 GRAM guarantees the weight and purity, while the legend THE PERTH MINT indicates its origin.
