Recorded by Lao Dong newspaper reporters at a gold and silver shop in District 1 (HCMC), the silver bar product line celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025), is in a state of "sold out" just a few days after opening for sale.
The silver pieces are made from 999 pure silver, weighing in equal quantity, highlighted by the embossed image of the Golden Dynasty, the heroic 390 tank going straight to the gate and the red flag with a yellow star flying, all recreating the important historical moment on April 30, 75.
Ms. Nguyen Phuong Anh (residing in District 7) - one of the young customers who owned silver bars with a history - shared that she did not buy them for investment but because this was a very unique way to preserve part of the nation's history.
"I found the design beautiful, sophisticated and very valuable in terms of emotions, so I bought it as a gift for relatives to celebrate. To buy this product, I had to wait for the opening time and place an order in advance because the quantity was limited" - Ms. Phuong Anh added.
Ms. Hoang Thi Phuong - representative of the Marketing Department of Ancarat silver store (District 1) - said that since its launch, the number of customers coming to ask to buy has increased sharply, not only collectors or investors but also many young people coming to because of the artistic value and spiritual meaning of the product. "All the first batch of silver bars were pre-ordered by customers and the shop is currently out of stock" - Ms. Phuong said.
Not only the silver line printed in the shape of historical events, many other silver products such as Indochina patterns, printed with the image of a child or cast in the shape of a are also sought after by young people. These products are not simply precious metals but have become trend items, used as souvenirs or even feng shui items.
According to industry experts, the "roaring" of art pieces of silver is due to the modern consumer trend, where customers, especially young people, are increasingly interested in personalized, cultural and historical products.
In the context of celebrating national milestones, gifts such as silver bars printed with April 30 are not only a shopping choice but also a way to express patriotism in a modern and creative way.
