1 oz Gold Bar Johnson Matthey

There are few brands in the precious metals industry more well-known than Johnson Matthey. Although Johnson Matthey is no longer actively refining gold and silver, its bars still circulate in the precious metals market as Secondary Market items. Additionally, new private partnerships have allowed the Johnson Matthey brand name to appear on new gold and silver bars. 

Bar Highlights:

• Bars arrive inside protective plastic!
• Revival of the Johnson Matthey brand logo!
• Contains 1 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold.
• The obverse features the identifying hallmarks and logo.
• On the reverse, the bar is blank.

Johnson Matthey was founded in 1817, but its involvement in precious metals dramatically increased in the 1850s as it shifted its primary focus to assaying and refining precious metals. In the early 1850s, the company was named the official assayer of the Bank of England. Over the years, the company expanded its operations to include the fabrication of various precious metal products, including gold bars.

Johnson Matthey gold bars have been popular among investors as a means of holding physical gold. These bars typically come in various sizes, catering to both individual and institutional investors. However, the 2015 sale of Johnson Matthey’s precious metal assets to Asahi Refining ended the direct production of new Johnson Matthey products. Modern partnerships have allowed the Johnson Matthey name to live on with new privately-minted gold and silver bars.

The obverse of these 1 oz Johnson Matthey Gold Bars are available with portrait orientation for all the markings. The hallmarks are stamped on this field of the bar with the historic Johnson Matthey logo at the top of the field. This includes the purity of the bar stamped in the middle of the logo. The metal content and weight are also noted on this field of the bar. On the reverse, these 1 oz Gold Bars have a blank field.

These 1 oz Johnson Matthey Gold Bars are available packaged in protective plastic. These bars have a clean finish to the primary face with markings that are stamped into the bar rather than being engraved on its surface.
