Most of the gold bars sold by Gurkha Gold are manufactured by gold refineries as “minted” bars.
“Minted” bars means that they are of a very high polished finishing and secured packed in a tamper-proof packaging with the purity, weight and refiner’s logo stamped on the individual bars.
Some of the gold bars sold by Gurkha Gold are “cast” bars which is where molten gold is poured into a mould and resultant cast bar is stamped with the weight, purity and serial number. Cast bars may sometimes not come with a certificate as the relevant details are already stamped on the gold bar itself. Larger size bars weighing 100 grams and above, for example 250 grams, 500 grams, 1 kilo and 5 ounces weights are produced usually as cast bars.
The most famous cast bar is the traditional London Good Delivery (LGD) bar which has a pure gold content of a minimum 350 ounces troy and a maximum 430 ounces troy.
A manufacturing cost (frequently termed as "premiums") is incurred by a gold refinery in melting, refining and processing gold upto 999.9 fineness. Further costs are incurred for minting, packaging, vaulting and shipping it to various destinations world-wide. Wholesalers and retailers of gold bars then add their own profit components to their costs and overheads to sell to their customers.
The gold bars of the smallest weight denominations and always minted and incurs a higher cost of manufacture whereas the larger gold bars which are cast, incur a lower cost of manufacture. So a 100 gram cast gold bar would be slightly cheaper than a 100 gram minted gold bar.
