Each is labeled with their weight and purity, and sealed in an assay holder which includes certification details.. Gold ingots are one form of gold bars. The molten metal is poured into molds known as ingots. Smaller bars can be made from stamping or minting rolled gold sheets.

Gold Bars for Trading and Investment

Large gold bars are held as gold reserves by central banks and wealthy investors. Here in the west bars are often denominated in troy ounces. However gram denominations are increasing in popularity. 

The 400-troy ounce bar is the standard unit which is commonly in major exchanges, such as the COMEX. These gold bars weigh 27.43 lbs.
