Design

During that time, many different refiners and manufacturers began striking Platinum bars. Such manufacturers as Valcambi, Engelhard, Scotia Bank, PAMP, Credit Suisse, and Argor-Heraeus, all manufactured Platinum in a convenient 1 Troy Ounce size. Most of these bars are offered in tamper-evident packaging complete with an assay certificate.
Precious metal investors typically buy gold and silver but those who want to diversify their precious metal holdings often include Platinum and sometimes Palladium to their investment portfolios.
Generally, platinum bars display the logo and/or name of the manufacturer as well as the weight and fineness. Oftentimes, these bars are sealed in tamper-evident packaging (TEP) which often have assay certificates and serial numbers printed on the insert. These certificates usually attest to the authenticity and integrity of the bar.
