Since 2009, ScotiaMocatta, a division of Scotiabank (The Bank of Nova Scotia), has been producing stunning Platinum Bars, now available through our convenient website. Containing 1 Troy Ounce of .9995 pure platinum, Scotiabank Platinum Bars come in an attractive, tamper-proof package, along with an assay certificate from Swiss refiner Valcambi. A fantastic means of diversifying your portfolio, platinum is not only one of the rarest, most valuable precious metals in the world, but it is useful, too–boasting an extremely high melting point, a resistance to corrosion and astounding durability.

ScotiaMocatta, a global leader in precious and base-metals innovation, is an organization proud of its expertise in finance, hedging and the distribution of tangible products–like this 1-Ounce Platinum Bar. Established after Scotiabank’s acquisition of Mocatta Bullion in 1997, ScotiaMocatta’s earliest roots can be traced to Moses Mocatta and the founding of his London bullion bank in 1671.

In 1783, while Mocatta Bullion handled three-fourths of the world’s gold production, Asher Goldsmid climbed aboard the firm, aptly calling it Mocatta & Goldsmid. The men’s heirs managed the company for another 286 years.

During the second half of the twentieth century, the firm served as a pioneer in precious metals and bullion, making the world’s leading deals in countless nations: the United States, Mexico, South America, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Russia, China, Japan and even South Africa–where a large portion of the earth’s platinum is harvested today. ScotiaMocatta has been awarded Best Bullion Bank by Bombay Bullion three years in a row since 2009. It is no wonder this renowned bullion dealer produces one of the most desirable 1-Ounce Platinum Bars on the market.

Due to a global shortage and an increased demand for platinum, the purchase of these Scotiabank 1-Oz Platinum Bars by ScotiaMocatta is not only an adroit investment decision, but they are a fantastic means of diversifying your precious metals portfolio.
