When I saw that our Singapore mint was selling gold, I took a double take because, yes. They usually do sell gold and coins there, however what caught my eye was the design of the Lion Bullion.
That lion is terribly handsome.
This isn’t your usual lion design. This was a furry lion design.
Who designed this?
Interestingly, you can’t buy lion bullion if you’re not in/from Singapore. You need to buy using your Singpass to register it.
The whole point of Lion Bullion it’s gold for Singaporeans to use to invest in. The card stock feels good in an archival way, and there was a little velvet pouch with a magnetic closure.
So was the proposed design real?
Yes.
Singapore has furry lion gold.
I’m not that rich, I used birthday cash for the lols, just for this post because really. Really?
It takes at least 48 days to mint and for them to put a serial number code on it too. So really, this is registered to you and can be traced.
I censored the serial number because hellooooo, why would you need to know?
Just know, you can only ‘preorder’ it in a way and they will literally mint for you. It seems they don’t have ‘instant’ purchases for some reason.
The upside, since I bought in early January and it has arrived now in March, the price I paid for it and the actual cost of gold now has increased.
It is so tiny that I can’t take a picture of it properly with my phone but looking at it in real life, yes. The design is as stated and now I can proudly say.
Majulah Singapura, we have furry gold.
