What is the difference between cast and minted bars?

The main difference lies in the production method and appearance:

• Minted bars are precision-cut from a rolled metal sheet and feature a refined, uniform look with sharp edges and detailed engravings. They are ideal for preservation or gifting.
• Cast bars are produced by pouring molten metal into a mold, giving them a more rustic, industrial finish with unique surface textures. Each cast bar may look slightly different.

Both types meet the same purity and weight standards. The choice depends on your personal preference and investment goals.
