Certification of your bullion Authenticate the precious Metal, This authenticity is usually a sticker or seal on the the precious Metal or a printed authentication slip. the certificate bears the serial number, refinery hallmark, purity, weight and assayer’s signature. For small bars, the “Certificate” is ordinarily set within a laminated card with a transparent design which allows for easy viewing of both the bar’s obverse and reverse and gives protection to the bar. However, there are still some gold bullion that we receive to our Custody that may not come with a “certificate” Some bars may not have a “certification” when they are sold in bulk or they may come with an assay proof, an analysis to test the composition in the precious metals within each shipment. For coins, most of them carry a face value or legal tender value which means that it can be used by the clients to make payments in that country that it was minted. Therefore, the “certification” is not necessary in all cases.
The existence of a “certificate” will only be useful when the bullion has a unique serial number that matches the “certificate”. Generally, small coins or bars will not have serial number so the “certificate” has no importance.Government mints such as Perth Mint, Royal Canadian Mint or Austrian Mint do not offer “certificate” for Silver bullion. Nevertheless, some limited edition, commemorative pieces or special release bullion with collectible value may come with “certificate”.
