Gold bars have been a part of human civilization for thousands of years. From its earliest discovery, gold has shown to be a great store of value that served as the primary source of currency in cultures around the world for nearly 2,000 years. Gold, as a source of currency, was only recently abandoned by most nations within the last 100 years. Gold bars remain a popular item among private gold owners as a store of wealth and hedge against inflation.

Designs

On the obverse and reverse fields of these 25 Gram Gold Bars are depictions that will vary from one to the next. Generally speaking, minted gold ingots have designs on both the obverse and reverse. These designs are often intricate and include mint logos with identifying hallmarks. Conversely, cast gold bars and hand-poured gold bars are traditional, rugged products with markings on just one side that are often limited to identifying hallmarks only.

History

Though nations around the world have turned away from gold and silver in circulation currency over the last century, that doesnt mean governments have lost interest in hoarding gold. The United States holds the worlds single-largest reserve of gold bars with an estimated 8,133.5 tones of gold. In fact, the United States holds more gold bullion in reserve than the next three nations combined: Germany, Italy, and France, respectively.
