The history of platinum bar production is relatively recent compared to other precious metals. Platinum was first discovered by Europeans in the 16th century in Colombia, though indigenous peoples had used it earlier. Since the 20th century, platinum bars have been available to investors through private refiners primarily located in South Africa, Europe, Russia, and North America. Now, 5 oz Johnson Matthey Platinum Bars are available to you online from JM Bullion.
Bar Highlights:
For the obverse of 5 oz Johnson Matthey Platinum Bars, you’ll find the identifying hallmarks of the piece. The bar features the classic Johnson Matthey logo with its JM initials at the top. Other markings include the company name, as well as the weight, metal content, and purity of the bar. If the bar has a serial number, it will appear on the obverse. The reverse of Johnson Matthey Platinum Bars features the JM logo in a repeating pattern.
The first scientific studies of platinum in Europe during the 1700s led to primitive refining techniques. Commercial platinum production began in the 1800s, primarily in Russia's Ural Mountains. By the early 1900s, standardized platinum bars emerged for industrial and investment purposes. The 1970s and 1980s saw increased production of standardized good delivery bars as platinum gained popularity as an investment.
