The Gold Tree of Life in the popular 1-ounce format, along with the Gold Tree of Life 0.1-ounce and the Silver Tree of Life 1-ounce, are now available from Tara Coins directly or from authorized distributors in the United States and worldwide.

The Gold and Silver Trees of Life are the first 99.99% Irish bullion rounds and are truly sovereign (non-legal tender) coins. They are beautiful and limited in mintage and supply, making them highly desirable as gifts, collectible coins, and -- most importantly -- as stores of value.

Tara Coins is a designer, wholesaler, and retailer of Irish bullion products, selling beautiful, collectible, store-of-value, 99.99% pure Irish silver and gold bullion.

GATA supporter Money Metals Exchange is now one of Tara Coins' leading distributors in the U.S. and is selling all the Gold and Silver Trees of Life coins for delivery or storage at its vault in Idaho.
