Gold Bars for Collectors
Mostly the gold bars we sell are intended purely as an investment in gold, and we do not guarantee to supply any specific make of bar, however we get many requests for specific makes or styles of bar for gifts or collectors, and so we try to provide these as an extra service. Naturally we charge extra for supplying specific designs and makes of gold bar. If you wish to buy gold bars at the lowest bullion prices, please see our main Gold Bars For Sale
page.
Hang Seng
Say "Hang Seng", and most people think of the "Hang Seng Index", the commonly quoted index of (about 36) major Hong Kong shares. The index which started in 1969, is of course, named after the Hang Seng Bank, which was founded in Hong Kong in 1935 as a bureau de change.
It is Hong Kong's second largest bank, and is majority owned by HSBS, via the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Banking Corporation. Naturally Hang Seng Bank shares are also a constituent of the Hang Seng index!
As a major financial institution, it is quite natural that Hang Seng Bank issues gold bars.

Certificates for Gold Bullion Bars
Certificates are unnecessary, or should be unnecessary, for gold bullion bars.
These usually state their weight and fineness, being stamped on them, and are generally difficult to fake.
