Perhaps one of the most popular bullion product in the world, the 1 ounce Credit Suisse gold bar is convenient for its discreet size and ease of storage. It’s a smart investment also, as it demands a smaller premium over spot price when compared to 1 oz gold coins. It is immensely liquid, and backed by the weight of one of the largest financial institutions in the world. 

This bar, made of 99.99% pure gold, fits easily in the palm of your hand (measuring a little over an inch and a half in length and just under an inch in width), even with its protective plastic enclosure. The clear covering reveals the entire bar with the Credit Suisse logo on the front, below which you will see "1 oz FINE GOLD 999.9", the assayer’s mark (written in French as "ESSAYEUR FONDEUR", and "CHI" in a circle) which certifies the contents, and also the bar’s unique serial number. The back of the bar shows the Credit Suisse logo again in a diagonal repeating pattern. The packaging shows the words "Investment Product" and "Made in Switzerland".

The bar is minted by the world famous Valcambi refinery as a standard investment tool for wealth protection so it shows a minimum of adornment as is found on art bars or coins that are prized by collectors and hobbyists.

Novice investors can feel comfortable and confident entering the precious metals investment market with this piece, joining innumerable experienced gold buyers and sellers as they do so.
