Used over 1000 years ago by South American Indians, Palladium cannot be called a new metal. However, it wasn’t until 1803 that scientist William Hyde Wollaston discovered it while working with platinum in his lab. Now, this extremely rare metal is known as one of the Platinum Group Metals that is used for both industrial purposes and crafting fine jewelry. GMRgold offers this 1 oz. Palladium Bar by Credit Suisse at low premiums over the spot price of Palladium as an excellent option for investors wanting to diversify their portfolios.
Obverse
The front of the bar has the Credit Suisse logo. Below the logo are the one-ounce weight, the metal as Palladium, and the fineness as 999.5. At the bottom of the bar is a unique serial number used only for that particular Palladium bar.
Reverse
The back of the bar itself may be smooth and blank, or it may have a repeating design of the logo. The reverse is not seen if the Palladium Bar is kept in its assay card. The back of the assay card bears the assay certificate, with its weight and purity along with the signature of the assayer. Below is the name of the refiner.
