Platinum is one of the rarer elements in the Earth’s crust. Platinum can occur naturally alongside nickel and copper ores, with some native deposits also found around the world. Most of the world’s platinum comes from South Africa. The nation of South Africa accounts for nearly 80% of the world’s production of platinum.
One of the first discoveries of platinum came from pre-Columbian South America. Native tribes and cultures in the region used platinum in the production of art and artifacts. In the 16th century, platinum was first mentioned in the writers of Antonio de Ulloa and was not investigated further by scientists until 1748.
On the obverse and reverse fields of the 500 Gram Platinum Bars, you will find various designs based on the program of issue and the mint of issue. Platinum bars refined into minted ingots often have intricate design elements and these may appear on both the obverse and reverse fields of the bars, while cast or poured platinum bars often feature only stamped designs that are typically found on just one side. Please keep in mind that the images associated with this listing are for example purposes and do not represent a guarantee of the design you will receive.
These 500 Gram Platinum Bars are available to you with individual plastic bags. The conditions of these bars vary and can include new or like-new bars or include those that have a variety of possible flaws ranging from minor to heavy issues. Silver.com selects all bars at random after your payment clears. We cannot guarantee the design of the bar, the mint of issue, or the condition of the bar in advance.
