For the first time since 1968, the Royal Mint is fabricating minted bars. After 47 years they’re back in conjunction with their new on-line bullion sales business, Royal Mint Bullion. Previously selling only Britannia and Sovereign coins, the new minted bar range will sell alongside them to any and all in whatever quantities you like.

Like the coins, there is an option to store purchases in The Vault, the Royal Mints Ministry of Defence protected hole in the ground. Strangely, this currently only applies to the 100g gold bar, despite the much smaller coin range being allowed in.

A nice looking and, no doubt, high quality bar for those in the market.

MINTS DESCRIPTION

The Royal Mint is to bring about the return of a world-renowned bullion brand after an absence of 47 years, expanding its bullion range to offer gold and silver minted bars bearing the historic marque of The Royal Mint Refinery. This is the first time since 1968 that customers will have an opportunity of owning newly minted precious metal bars bearing the prestigious ‘RMR’ initials, and the first time ever that they will have been available direct to the public from The Royal Mint.

The Royal Mint Refinery marque dates back to 1852. Operated for more than 100 years by N.M. Rothschild and Sons, it became an established brand with a strong reputation for handling much of the gold and silver bullion sent to London from across the globe for processing under the RMR label. Royal Mint Refinery became a trustworthy name that survived the First and Second World Wars and served an ever evolving bullion market until production ceased in 1968. The Royal Mint Refinery brand has now been revived by The Royal Mint, an organisation with a history stretching back over 1,000 years which today is recognised globally as a secure bullion provider with a reputation for integrity and quality assurance.

The Royal Mint Refinery bars, in either 999.9 fine gold or 999 fine silver, are likely to appeal to customers looking for a cost effective way of buying bullion; the gold bars have the added attraction of being VAT free to individuals.

ROYAL MINT F.A.Q.

How can I buy my RMR Bars?

Royal Mint Refinery Bars are available exclusively through www.royalmintbullion.com, the organisation’s already popular online bullion-trading platform which was launched in September 2014, enabling customers to buy, sell and store The Royal Mint’s bullion range online, quickly, effortlessly and securely, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Customers have the option of storing 100g gold bars in The Vault™, The Royal Mint’s on-site precious metal storage facility, which is protected at all times by the Ministry of Defence Police.

They are produced in 999.9 fine gold and 999 fine silver – silver minted bars are available in One Hundred Gramme units, whilst weights of the gold minted bars range from the petite One Gramme through to the One Hundred Gramme, with One Ounce, Ten Gramme and Five Gramme bars making up the range.

Minted bars are finished to a bullion finish, and are presented in serialised security packaging (credit card sized and sealed protective package to transport and preserve your bar securely), with an individually numbered certificate.

The Royal Mint is recognised worldwide as a secure bullion provider, and works with strategic partners in sourcing gold from non-conflict areas of the world. All suppliers are accredited by the London Bullion Market Association (known as the LBMA – http://www.lbma.org.uk/).

The bars are branded with the RMR logo, the weight and the fineness of the precious metal with which they are made. They bear a unique serial number matching the serial number on the authentication certificate provided with each bar, giving buyers the confidence that their bar has been manufactured by a trusted source.

The Royal Mint is a respected provider of bullion coins. The launch of The Royal Mint’s online trading site www.royalmintbullion.com in September 2014 made gold and silver bullion coins easily accessible for buyers 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week. Bars are a cost effective way of purchasing precious metal, therefore the revival of The Royal Mint Refinery brand to facilitate the supply of bars to customers was a natural progression.

The Royal Mint’s trading website www.royalmintbullion.com provides constantly updated live prices for gold and silver at a rate linked to the current precious metal price.

The Royal Mint has been a highly respected and trusted source of coins for kings, queens and governments for over 1,000 years, and is recognised globally as a secure provider of bullion coins. Its pricing, which is constantly updated in line with live precious metal prices, reflects the fact that customers can buy precious metal in the confidence that the authenticated bars have come from a trusted source with a history stretching back over 1,000 years and a reputation for integrity and quality assurance.

There are no minimum or maximum order quantity restrictions.

The Vault storage option is only available for the 100g gold bar, for which there is no storage quantity restriction.
