Designs of Gold Bars

Gold bars may not be collected in the same manner as collectible gold coins because not all gold bars feature interesting designs. However, there are actually some bars that showcase impressive engraved designs. These designs include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Britannia Gold Bars
• 2024 Una & the Lion Gold Bar
• Lady Fortuna Gold Bars

This means that while gold bars are primarily sought after by investors, collectors can also find enjoyment in owning gold bars with attractive designs.

What Is the Difference Between Minted and Cast Gold Bars?

Minted gold bars can also be described as Gold Biscuits or Wafers. Minted gold bars are often thinner and flatter than cast bars and have more defined edges. These minted bars are then cut to the required dimensions and are struck with the refiners' stamp, fineness and design.

The process allows the refiner to add more complex design details, making them more attractive to investors looking for collectability as well as value for money. The bars are cleaned and polished and sealed into packaging which contains the certificate of authenticity.

A cast gold bar is often called an ingot. The bars are made by pouring the molten gold into a mould. The mould usually has the refiners stamp and fineness, some have individual serial numbers. Cast bars are often thicker and deeper than minted bars.

What are CombiBars?

CombiBars are divisible bars of precious metals, designed for easy separation into uniform, smaller units resembling chocolate squares. This feature offers investors flexibility to detach specific portions while preserving the bar's total value. Such a design merges the convenience factor with the value stability of precious metals.
