The Istanbul Gold Refinery is among the newest global refineries to earn crucial accreditations from major exchanges. IGR earned its accreditation from the London Bullion Market Association in 2011 and Good Delivery Refinery status with COMEX in 2014, which means its gold bars are a valuable option to any investor.

All 100 Gram Istanbul Gold Refinery Gold Bars ship inside of assay cards. The packaging is tamper-evident and includes a number of security features, which includes a matching serial number to the one engraved on the bar and the signature of a certified assayer.

More importantly, there are other security features designed to combat attempts at counterfeiting IGR products. The reverse side of the assay card includes two security marks which are invisible to the naked eye. These marks are only revealed when you expose the card to UV light. You’ll also find a hologram of the company logo at the bottom of the assay card’s reverse.

On the obverse of the 100 Gram Istanbul Gold Refinery Gold Bar are engravings which help identify the bar and its maker. At the top of the bar are the initials “IGR” for Istanbul Gold Refinery. Below this, you’ll find the weight, metal content, and purity of the bar followed by the refinery’s logo. At the very bottom is a unique serial number engraved with a seven-number code.

The reverse face of Istanbul Gold Refinery Gold Bars features one design element. The refinery’s initials are listed as “IGR” in all capitals in a repeating pattern. The initials are set on a 45-degree angle and cover the entire reverse side of the bar.

Opened in 1996, the Istanbul Gold Refinery was the first refinery in Turkey to refine gold to .9999 purity levels. Today, the refinery is part of IGR Global and provides most of its gold bars to buyers in Turkey and the Middle East.
