Description

To welcome the arrival of the Year of the Rat, this Post has specially issued two types of the Money Rat Fine Silver Ingots. There are 6,000 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 2019). Also issued are 7,700 sets of the Money Rat Fine Silver Ingot Premium Edition (including both types of ingots) and 300 sets of the Money Rat Collectable Set of Pure Gold Ingot, Fine Silver Ingots and High Relief Copper Medal (including both types of silver ingots). The exquisite engraving and the fine casting method of this ingot in a special limited-edition minting make it a highly collectable artifact with a commemorative meaning.
