Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by pharmacist John Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. Originally marketed as a patent medicine, it was sold as a syrup mixed with carbonated water. Asa Candler acquired the rights to the formula and brand in 1889 and incorporated The Coca-Cola Company in 1892. Right now, 1/2 Gram Coca-Cola Gold Bars are available from JM Bullion.

Each 1/2 Gram Coca-Cola Gold Bar is available to you inside a tamper-evident assay card. The gold bar is sealed in the plastic packaging and comes with a Coca-Cola-branded, red assay card inside. The bars offer a BU finish and boast designs officially licensed by Coca-Cola.
Under Candler’s leadership, Coca-Cola’s distribution expanded rapidly, and by the early 1900s, it was available across the United States. The drink’s formula has undergone several changes since its inception. Initially, it contained small amounts of cocaine from coca leaves, which was removed in 1903. The exact recipe remains a closely guarded trade secret, known as Merchandise 7X. Over the years, Coca-Cola has introduced various flavors and variations, including Diet Coke in 1982 and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar in 2005
For the obverse of Coca-Cola Gold Bars, you’ll find the iconic silhouette of a Coke bottle. The distinctive contour bottle, often referred to as the “hobble skirt” bottle, was introduced in 1915. Designed by the Root Glass Company of Terre Haute, Indiana, it was created to be instantly recognizable, even in the dark or when broken. The bottle’s shape was inspired by the cacao pod, though it’s often mistakenly thought to be based on the coca leaf or kola nut. This unique design has become one of the most recognizable packaging designs in history and has played a significant role in Coca-Cola’s branding and global success. In the reverse design, the 1/2 Gram Coca-Cola Gold Bar features the brand logo for Coca-Cola with its notable script font.
