Based on a stone carving from over a thousand years ago, these new silver bars are a beautiful tribute to the artifacts of Korea! The design replicates a Buddhist stele housed at Biamsa Temple featuring Amitabha Buddha along with several Bodhisattvas.

Obverse

On the obverse of this Buddhist Stele of Amitabha Gichuk Silver Bar, there is a depiction of the Buddha in a sitting position. Buddha was an influential spiritual leader who taught about the path toward Nirvana, the escape from suffering through an enlightened understanding of experience. This carving also features a pond with lotus flowers and several standing Buddha figures. Additional characters include the disciple Arhat, the spirit Yachasang, and various Bodhisattvas.

Reverse

The reverse side of these 2 oz Buddhist Stele of Amitabha Silver Bars features a blank but textured surface. This rough quality nicely mimics the appearance of the original stone out of which this stele was carved. It is also worth noting that the overall shape of this stele differs from other versions due to the arching, curved shape as we move up the design.
