One of the most valuable commodities in the world, platinum is a popular choice amongst investors seeking to secure their fortunes. And one of the best ways to acquaint yourself with this particular metal is via the Credit Suisse refinery, and their 10 ounce platinum bar.

All of these bars include 10 ounces of .9995 platinum and they all come individually packaged, with an assay certificate included. This provides an extra layer of security, certifying that the product is what it says it is. And thanks to the inclusion of these extras, and the reputation of Credit Suisse, this 10 ounce platinum bar is one of the most popular ways to invest in this white metal.

Product Details

Platinum has always been highly prized, popular in a number of industries and with investors. It is one of the least corrosive metals and is therefore ideal for long-term investors keen to keep their investment in pristine condition.

In the mid-2000s, a rising interest in this metal caused many suppliers to increase their output, turning their attentions to coins and rounds, while also producing a greater number of bars. One of those suppliers was Credit Suisse, who have over 150 years of experience behind them and are one of the biggest names in precious metals.

Features

The 10 ounce platinum bar is minted to Credit Suisse’s exacting standards, which guarantees that each bar is as perfect as the next. The face of the bar features a few simple inscriptions, including the assayer’s mark, as well as the purity and weight of the bar, and below these marks you will also find an assay stamp and a serial number.

The assay is one of the key features of Credit Suisse bars, and essentially means that an official, independent authenticator has guaranteed the purity of the bar. This is displayed via the assay mark, located on the bar, and via the assay certificate, included with each purchase, and it displays the bar’s weight, purity and serial number, followed by the assayer’s signature.

Along with the assay certificate, you can also use the serial number to verify that the bar was in-deed produced by Credit Suisse.

On the back of the bar you will find the Credit Suisse logo, which is set at an angle and repeated across the surface.
