Quality designation for standard bars (19.0 to 13.4 kg) of gold as defined for use between central banks. The bars are to have a minimum fineness of 99.5 percent. Each piece must be stamped with the serial number, fineness, year of production, and refinery assay stamp. – The majority of gold dealers adhere to these specifications, even for smaller bars. However, there is no legal requirement that forces them to do so. Therefore, when buying gold, always pay attention to the relevant information. Many refiners – especially in Germany and Switzerland – exceed the LGDS for even the smallest bars and offer gold at a fineness of 99.9 percent. – Assay Stamp, Blank Gold Sale, Capellengold, Chrysomanie, Drittelgold, Edelkupfer, Goldgramm, Gold Price, Gold Reserve, Karat, Monometallism, Münzgold, Pagament, Rauschgold, Standardbarren, Currency, mixed, store of value, Zerimahbub, Zwischengold.
