Gold Bar – Kilo Pamp

History

Gold has been recognized as a store of value by mankind for approximately 5,000 years. First made into ornamental jewelry and other items such as goblets, gold has retained, and dramatically increased its value over the millennia. It’s true scarcity as a precious metal is now well-known.
It first served as coinage over 2,500 years ago when King Croesus of Lydia ordered gold to be the metal of choice for coins struck during his reign. gold coins were popular during the reign of both the Greek and Roman civilizations.
Gold continued to be a principal metal used for coinage throughout the Middle Ages and through the Renaissance periods. The United States struck its own gold coinage first in 1795. It was a popular medium of exchange until the end of World War I. When the Depression struck in the early 1930s, it was time for the United States to act.
With the stroke of his pen in 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt authorized the recall of all gold coins, except for those valued as rare coins and for a small amount that individuals could continue to own. But that year removed the United States from the Gold Standard.
By 1967, the first gold coin struck specifically for investment was struck by South Africa. The Krugerrand  became the world’s first gold bullion coin. By 1974, President Nixon lifted the prohibition on US citizens owning gold coins and a worldwide investment market in gold began to develop.
Gold bars were first struck in the 13^th century but were not popular until much later. Bars were first used as trade between governments and between sovereign mints.
