What is the ancient nickname of gold?

The ancients didn't call gold gold or gold bars.

The simple substance (free form) of gold, commonly known as gold, is a popular precious metal, which has been used as currency, preservation and jewelry for many centuries. In nature, gold exists in the form of simple substance in gold nuggets or rocks, underground veins and alluvium. Gold is also one of the currency metals.

Gold, a simple substance, is solid at room temperature, with high density, softness, brightness and corrosion resistance. It is one of the most ductile metals, second only to platinum.

Gold is a transition metal, which can form trivalent and monovalent positive ions after dissolution. Gold will not react with most chemicals, but will be corroded by chlorine, fluorine, aqua regia and cyanide.

The connection between gold bars and gold

Gold bars are similar to gold coins and are mainly divided into commemorative gold bars and general investment gold bars. Commemorative gold bars are generally issued at a price higher than the value of their gold raw materials, and the price is generally fixed.

For example, the New Year's gold bars in China and the Olympic gold bars in 2008 are all dedicated commemorative gold bars. The main difference between ordinary investment gold bars and ordinary gold coins lies in the different specifications. There are usually four types of typical common gold coins: 1 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce and110 ounce. The specifications are generally small, but there are also 1 kg and 10 oz. The specifications of gold bars are larger than those of gold coins.
