Johnson Matthey Gold Bars
Johnson Matthey were one of the founding members of the London Gold Fixing, and a leading bullion refiner and assayer. Their bars are still in demand, and their older bars are likely to become collector's items.As we state many times on various pages of our websites, we normally sell investment gold bars "as they come" with no buyers choice of make or design. This is because our margins and spreads on gold bars are very competitive, however there appears to be a grwoing market and demand for "collector's bars", and we are happy to try to service this demand. Naturally, if you wish to stipulate a particular make and design of bar, please expect to have to pay an extra premium price for it compared with a bar of "our choice" from an unspecified refiner. Johnson Matthey Gold Bar Collection
Whenever we see a different make, or a different design of gold bar, we try to photograph it, if we have time, and our photo album of collectable gold bars is still growing.On this page, we have pleasure in showing a selection of the Johnson Matthey gold bars which have passed through our hands. -

Other Johnson Matthey Gold Bars
- Rothschild
We have noticed that a number of the gold bar sizes and shapes made by Johnson Matthey are very similar to many of those made by Rothschild
, and we cannot help thinking that Matthey may have made many of them under contract for Rothschild.
Prices & Availability
These are sample prices based on gold at £800 per ounce.Please telephone for current prices and availability.The prices quoted in the US $ column may be out of date due to currency fluctuations.
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.
We also have other Rothschild
bars listed on their own page, and will be adding a Johnson Matthey page later.
