Investment gold

Investment gold has clear specifics and parameters that make it the equivalent to a means of tender. Investment gold is a secure form of saving money.

Investment gold includes gold ingots, gold bars and gold investment coins.

Gold bars 

Gold bars have the highest standard of gold fineness, 999.9/1000 – 24 karats, the highest content of gold in investment metal, i.e. pure gold. Each investment gold bar comes with a hallmark (refinery brand), exact weight and serial number. Minted gold bars are packed in transparent plastic packaging with a certificate attached. Cast gold bars (small ingots) may be provided with a separate paper certificate.

Gold investment coins

Investment coins are produced and issued by state mints. Their purity and authenticity are guaranteed not only by the mints, but also the state that issues them. In addition to their collector’s value, they are also official currency and a means of payment, having a certain nominal value. Their price and size vary, and their value depends on their scarcity; some coins are minted with highly elaborate motifs, mostly portraying cultural or historical personalities and events. Investment coins are not only affordable, but also have an aesthetic value.

Gold can be purchased in the form of gold coins, or gold ingots and bars weighing 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 1 oz (Troy ounce 31,103 g), 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 grams.
