Cast Bars

The majority of 1 Kilo Gold Bars available at Provident Metals are cast bars. Cast bars are similar to metal bars created by the earliest human civilizations. Liquid gold is poured into a mold and allowed to cool. Once cooled, the bar is removed and stamped with design elements, typically just on one side. Due to how they’re made, cast bars made from the same mint can differ slightly. These bars also have rougher sides and edges compared to their minted ingot counterparts.

Cast bars typically just contain identifying marks of the bar along with the logo of the mint. You’ll notice that 1 Kilo Gold Bars offered at Provident Metals lack complex design elements that are normally seen on minted ingots.
