Obverse

On the obverse face of 1 oz Gold Bars in this product listing is the image of the Rand Refinery logo. The logo is a simple design meant to replicate the appearance of a melting pot in which gold, silver, and other precious metals are melted during production. Below is an inscription of Rand Refiner. Other inscriptions on this face of the bar include Au 999.9 and 1 oz Fine Gold. At the bottom of the bar is an eight-digit serial number consisting of two letters and six numbers. Each bars serial number starts with RR for Rand Refinery.

Reverse

The reverse side of 1 oz Gold Bars from the Rand Refinery features the beloved African elephant. The largest living land mammal, the African elephant lives in family herds with a system of matriarchy that sees females lead the herd. As the family herd in this design marches along, the female leads the way as her young calf uses its trunk to clutch her tail to stay close to mom. A trailing elephant is also shown in the design. The repeating design element switches directions in each line as you look down the face of the bar, alternating between a right-to-left march and a right-to-left march. At the bottom of the bar is the inscription of the scientific name for the African elephant, Loxodonta.

History

Rand Refinery is not a miner of precious metals itself, but rather a refinery that transforms raw materials into gold bullion products, such as coins and bars. It was established in 1920 by the Chamber of Mines of South Africa.
