The Argor-Heraeus 1 oz Year of the Goat 2027 gold bar contains one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of 999.9 fine gold — the unit in which the London gold price is quoted. The reverse features three goats and the 三羊开泰 inscription; the obverse shows the Argor-Heraeus mark with the words 1 ounce Fine Gold 999.9 and a serial number.
The ounce is the central size of the 2027 Lunar issue. At 40.4 × 23.3 × 1.9 mm it offers the largest relief of the year after the 50 g bar, and mintage is capped at 18,888. The same zodiac animal appears this year on the Lunar III Year of the Goat gold coin, so the bar complements a set from the 2027 issue.

On the ounce the composition has room for the layers of the scene and the texture of the rocks. The central goat, with spiralling horns, stands on top of a rock, while two smaller animals stand lower on neighbouring ridges to the left and right. Mountain peaks rise in the background, stylised clouds fill the upper right corner, and a frame with a geometric meander — typical of Chinese ornament — encloses the scene.
The vertical inscription 三羊开泰 (sān yáng kāi tài) in the upper left is a traditional New Year blessing. It comes from the Book of Changes (I Ching): in old Chinese the character 羊 (goat) sounded the same as 阳 (yang, the bright principle), so three goats stand for the three yang lines of the Tai hexagram — the start of a new year and of good fortune. The motif appears in Chinese folk art, on porcelain and in New Year decorations.
In the Chinese calendar 2027 is the year of the Fire Goat (丁未) — the eighth sign of a cycle that returns every twelve years. The new lunar year begins on 6 February 2027.
The bar is minted: a blank cut from rolled gold strip is struck with a die, the edges are rounded and the surface polished. The obverse carries the round refinery mark with the letters AH and ARGOR HERAEUS SA, the word Switzerland, the marking 1 ounce Fine Gold 999.9, the AH Melter Assayer hallmark and a serial number.
Argor-Heraeus SA has been based in Mendrisio, in the Swiss canton of Ticino, since 1951 and is on the LBMA Good Delivery list for gold. This series has no KineGram hologram — that feature is reserved for bars in the Kinebar line.
The Year of the Goat issue comes in five sizes. Each has its own mintage of 18,888 bars and the same reverse design, and 50 g appears in the Argor-Heraeus Lunar series for the first time.
| Size | Dimensions (mm) | Troy oz | Fineness | Mintage |

| 5 g | 23 × 14 × 0.9 | 0.16075 | 999.9 | 18,888 |

Dimensions as published by the manufacturer's distributor.
Per gram, the ounce carries a lower premium than the 1 g, 5 g and 10 g bars of the same series, with the same design and mintage cap. A bar has no face value — its worth comes from the gold weight and the market price, not from a denomination as with a coin.
If you are choosing between a bar and a coin with the goat design: the Lunar III Year of the Goat 1 oz gold coin 2027 has a face value and a different design, while the Argor-Heraeus bar is a flat format with a serial number and assay card. The gold content is the same.
Other bars of this size and earlier years: 1 oz Year of the Horse gold bar 2026, 1 oz Year of the Snake gold bar 2025, classic 1 oz Argor-Heraeus gold bar, 1 oz Kinebar.
Gold bars of 999.9 fineness are exempt from VAT throughout the European Union under Art. 346 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC. In Poland, where GoldInvest24 is based, the rule is implemented by Art. 122 of the VAT Act.
GoldInvest24 offers bars from LBMA-accredited refiners, including minted, cast and Kinebar bars by Argor-Heraeus. Shipments are insured and discreetly packed. See also 1 oz gold bars, all gold bars and the current gold price.
A troy ounce weighs 31.1035 g. It is heavier than the ordinary avoirdupois ounce of 28.35 g, which is not used in the precious metals trade.
It is a Chinese New Year blessing that literally means three goats bring prosperity. The character 羊 (goat) was once a homophone of 阳 (yang), so three goats stand for the three yang lines of the Tai hexagram and the start of a fortunate year.
The sealed blister acts as the certificate: it is the bar's assay card and carries the serial number. A broken seal is visible.
The coin has a face value and a Perth Mint design; the Argor-Heraeus bar is a flat rectangle with a serial number and assay card. Both contain one ounce of gold and differ in form, design and mintage.
No. Gold bars of 999.9 fineness are VAT-exempt throughout the EU under Council Directive 2006/112/EC, implemented in Poland by Art. 122 of the VAT Act.
