Gold has been mined in Egypt since 2000 BC. The name "gold" derives from the Indo-European word ghel, meaning “shiny” or “yellow.” This precious metal is renowned for its exceptional properties. It is highly resistant to acids and alkalis, making it rustproof and virtually indestructible. Throughout history, gold has primarily been used for jewelry and as a form of currency or trade. A large gold reserve often symbolized power.
Today, gold remains highly valued not only in jewelry making but also as an investment. Gold coins and gold bars are considered secure investment instruments. Gold bars are not only popular among private investors but are also used by nations to back currency reserves. Compared to coins, which require intricate minting processes, gold bars are simpler to produce and typically priced closer to their material value. This makes gold bars a more cost-effective investment than gold coins.
Gold bars come in various sizes, such as the 100 g gold bar, allowing investors with different budgets to enter the gold market. Generally, the larger the bar, the lower the premium above the spot price. However, smaller denominations like the 100 g gold bar offer advantages such as easier storage and greater flexibility when buying and selling.

When producing 100 g gold bars, there are two main manufacturing methods: casting and minting.
Cast Gold Bars: These are made by pouring molten gold into a mold. As the gold cools, unique solidification lines form on the surface, making each cast bar one of a kind.
Minted Gold Bars: These bars are cut from high-quality gold sheets using precision stamping. The surface of a minted 100 g gold bar is more uniform, with smooth edges. Due to the more complex production process, minted bars often have a slightly higher price than cast bars.
In addition to standard 100 g gold bars, there are two unique variations: the CombiBar and the UnityBox.
CombiBar: This is a divisible bar consisting of 100 individual 1 g gold bars. Similar to a chocolate bar, the gold bars are connected by pre-determined break lines, allowing them to be separated easily without material loss. The advantage of the CombiBar is its flexibility: you can store it as a whole in its blister packaging while breaking off individual pieces as needed for resale at optimal gold prices or as gifts for children or grandchildren on special occasions.
UnityBox: Like the CombiBar, this product contains 100 individual 1 g gold bars. However, instead of being connected, they are stored separately in a sturdy box. This means you can remove and use each 1 g gold bar individually without worrying about breaking lines. This option also offers exceptional flexibility.
