The kilobar (1000 g) is the world’s most widely traded
small gold bar. It is popular among investors and fabricators as it
is normally traded at an extremely low premium above the prevailing
value of its gold content.
While most kilobars have a flat ‘international’
shape, traditional kilobars in the shape of a ‘brick’ are
still preferred by some investors and fabricators in Europe.
The Exhibition displays the kilobars of 53 manufacturers
which are approved by the world’s major gold dealing exchanges
in London, New York, Tokyo and Zurich.
The bar shown here is by Dowa Mining Co. Ltd., Tokyo,
Japan.
