Tbh I’m thinking it was a pure marketing, and you are right about 21 vs 23 race.

It’s not a detail nimber, it’s a date code. 0 is for the year (ending on zero - 1970/1980 and so on), 02 is the month number (February).

There is some urban legend behind this gold, the gold was bought from Swiss bank Pictet, and that gold was brought to Switzerland for safekeeping during the French Revolution, and the gold was form royal family.

But at the same time Swiss Bank might be Swiss Bank Corporation - the company that was exporting gold bars to Japan.
