250g Gold Ingot - Certified and Numbered

The 250g Gold Ingot in History

Gold has been used since the end of prehistory. It was the second metal discovered by humankind after copper. The oldest known gold object was unearthed in the Varna necropolis in Bulgaria. Historically, gold was used for adornment by the powerful and for religious rituals.

During Antiquity, the Lydian kings minted the first gold coins around the 8th century BC. As for the first ingots, traces of them can be found in the writings of Tacitus, in the 1st century, mentioning massive deposits of gold still unknown, reported to the emperor Nero by Cesellius Bassus.

In the Middle Ages, ingots took various forms and sizes to store wealth, a practice that continued until the 18th century. Today, the 250g gold ingot is part of this historical tradition, while also meeting strict international standards.
