Gold as a crisis-proof investment
For 4000 years, precious metals (gold and silver) in the form of coins and bars have served as a means of exchange and payment. In all that time, they have not suffered any loss of material value or significance. Modern gold coins and gold bars are stamped with the characteristics of weight in grams, fineness and the manufacturer. However, a nominal value is not mentioned, as it is common for gold co ins and silver coins. Today, gold bars made of fine gold serve as a financial investment that can be easily traded. They are considered above all as a crisis-proof store of value.
Reputable manufacturers whose gold bars are bought by almost all banks and precious metal dealers worldwide at reasonable prices can be found on the so-called "Good Delivery" list of the London Bullion Market Association(LBMA). These producers are regularly checked independently and are bought back by all banks worldwide. These manufacturers do not only exist in Europe, but worldwide (e.g. Perth Mint in Australia).
