In most cases, this means the bars are wrapped in a protective wrap for the delivery process and are housed in cardboard shipping boxes with discreet labels.

Obverse

For the obverse design element of 20 oz Gold Bars from Johnson & Matthey, the mint logo is the primary design feature. It is found at the top of the bar and consists of an oval shape that has the words Johnson Matthey in the rim design around the edge of the oval. The other inscriptions on this face of the gold bar include 20 oz Tr and the purity of the gold. All inscriptions on this side of the bar have been struck incuse, meaning the design elements and text inscriptions are sunk into the bar beneath the surface. An incuse strike is common in cast bars as it is easy to press the markings into the bar during the cooling process.

Reverse

In the reverse design of 20 oz Gold Bars, you will notice that there are no intentional designs, inscriptions, or other markings. The bars are not without a sense of attraction though. The cooling process a cast bar goes through as the gold settles and cools in the mold often results in unique, one-of-a-kind textures, striations, and other visual cues in the surface of the bar.

History

Johnson & Matthey was founded in 1817 by Percival Norton Johnson. When George Matthey joined in 1851, it became known as Johnson & Matthey. The next year, the company became the official assayer and refiner of the Bank of England. Over the next century and a half, it made a name for itself as a precious metals leader. In late 2015, it agreed to sell its refining and assay facilities to Asahi, a Japanese refiner, and exit the precious metals industry. Its bullion items, both gold and silver, remain stalwarts for modern investors.
