Assay certificate and serial number - authenticity guarantee

Obverse of the bar: Britannia motif, The Royal Mint logo, fineness and weight. The surface is smooth and mirror-like.

The blister with assay certificate serves both as protective packaging and as a certificate - it contains confirmation of fineness and weight, a serial number matching the one on the bar, and the assayer's signature. Opening the blister reduces the bar's market value, so we recommend keeping it in the original packaging.

Why buy this gold bar?

Gold has served as a store of value and a hedge against inflation and currency crises for over 5 000 years. Small-weight bars (1 oz and below) have a low entry threshold, are easy to store, and provide an excellent starting point for acquiring physical gold.

The Royal Mint is recognised at every professional bullion dealer in Europe, which translates into very high liquidity on the secondary market. The refinery processes both primary gold (mine-doré) and recycled gold (LBMA Responsible Gold), meeting the highest ethical sourcing standards. Thanks to LBMA Good Delivery accreditation, the bars are accepted without additional verification at bullion banks, dealers and precious metals exchanges worldwide.

Metal buyers building a diversified precious metals portfolio often combine gold bars with bullion coins and monitor current metal quotations. See also gold bullion coins, silver bullion bars and current precious metals prices.
