“Turning things around” (with “turning” being a homonym for “ox”). It conveys the hope that all will go as hoped in the Year of the Ox, as we avert disaster, overcome obstacles and attain financial success.

Engraved in the upper part is the logo of Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd.; below this, the Chinese characters reading “Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd.”; and below that, “Ag999” and “1oz.” The traditional Chinese characters reading, “Mintage Undertaken by the Central Mint,” are engraved bottom-most.

To welcome the arrival of the Year of the Ox, this Post has specially issued two types of the Auspicious Ox Fine Silver Ingots. There are 1,000 pieces for each type. Their themes derive from the designs of the NT$6 stamp and NT$13 stamp of the New Year’s Greeting Postage Stamps (Issue of 2020). Also issued are 3,000 sets of the Auspicious Ox Fine Silver Ingot Premium Edition (including both types of ingots) and 500 sets of the collectable set, each including a pair of fine silver ingots and 1 piece each of the pure gold ingot and high relief copper medal. The exquisite engraving and the fine casting method of these ingots in a special limited-edition minting make them highly collectable artifacts with a commemorative meaning.
