The so-called 'assay' packages are ideal for storing gold bars, because the gold in them is hermetically sealed and completely protected from scratches, bumps, fingerprints, etc. Thanks to modern technologies for testing the authenticity of metals, the gold in such packages is easy to test and determine that it is real.

Due to the simplicity of production, bars are somewhat cheaper than coins, so they represent perhaps a more efficient way to buy a larger amount of gold. Also, the difference between the purchase and sale price (spread) is also smaller, which makes them suitable for investment.

Bullion from both sovereign and private mints is sold on the market. Unlike coins, sizes larger than one ounce are also sold, e.g. a gold bar of 100 grams, and even one kilogram.
