1-Gram Gold Bar (Brands Vary)

Gold has been recognized as a store of value for thousands of years. Gold coins have been struck for over 3,000 years. The first gold coins struck were ordered by King Croesus of Lydia (modern day Turkey) and they were called staters. The obverse of those coins depicted a Lion and a Bull about to engage with each other, The reverse had an incuse geometric design. 

The Greeks, and later the Roman Empire, created beautiful and stylish gold coins. Their coins honored their emperors as well as their gods, battles, and festivals. 

Throughout the Dark Ages, Middle Ages, and through the Renaissance, gold and silver coins continued to be struck. Late in the 19th century and in the earliest part of the 20th century, while gold coins were still the primary medium of exchange, people looked at gold as an investment as well as a currency. 

In fact, in 1933 as the United States made possession of gold coins impractical and illegal, many of the coins that were recalled were melted into gold bars for the United States government. 

When Americans could again own gold as an investment in 1974, gold bars were the preferred method of investing in gold. Because of demand in the United States, One Troy Ounce gold bars gained in popularity.  

But to differentiate themselves from other gold manufacturers, gold manufacturers began offering many different bars in many different sizes to accommodate all budgets. 

Although the United States consumers understood the Ounce system, the European influences became popular as they offered more diversity. In Europe, gold was measured and weighed in grams. 31.01 Grams equaled One Troy Ounce and Americans found that even for the smallest budget, a One Gram Gold Bar would be affordable.  

Many of the major manufacturers offered One Gram, Two Gram, Two and a Half Grams, and many other larger sizes. They competed using their brands and offering these small bars in Tamper-Evident-Packaging (T-E-P) with an assay certificate in the packaging.
