Each of the 1 oz Gold Istanbul Gold Refinery Bars in this product listing at Silver.com arrives individually packaged inside of a tamper-evident assay card. The included assay card reflects the weight, purity, and metal content of the bar, as well as its unique serial number. Each assay card also includes important security features to help deter counterfeiting.
The reverse side of the assay card has the signature of a certified assayer at the top. Hidden on the reverse are two invisible security marks which you’ll only find when you expose the card to a UV light source. There is also a hologram of the Istanbul Gold Refinery logo at the bottom.
1 oz gold is a popular choice for many investors. The reasons can differ by individual, but most prefer the more affordable price of 1 oz gold compared to larger weight bars, as well as the greater ease involved the transportation, storage, and resale of the bars.
