A minted (or stamped) gold bar is a bar that is cut and stamped from a larger gold sheet. This process gives the bars a sleek and detailed design. The result is a gold bar with a refined, high-quality finish and often very fine details.
This production method is mainly used for smaller bars ranging from 0.5 to 100 grams. Thanks to the precision of this process, even very small gold bars of 0.5 or 1 gram can be produced with extreme accuracy.
LBMA-certified minted gold bars are usually delivered in a sealed, hard plastic case with a certificate of authenticity. This provides extra protection against scratches and other forms of damage. In the product description of each gold bar, you can see how the bar was produced and packaged.
In addition to minted gold bars, you can also choose cast gold bars. Read more about the production process of the cast gold bar and about the differences between minted and cast gold bars.
