Palladium is a metal very similar in appearance to platinum. This should be no surprise when you learn that palladium is part of the platinum precious metals group along with platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, and osmium. Palladium shares many chemical properties with each of these metals, but is the least dense and has the lowest melting point of all metals from the group.

On the obverse and reverse of these 10 oz Palladium Bars you’ll find various designs. The specific designs depend upon the mint from which your bar originated, but examples include features such as PAMP Suisse’s popular Fortuna design range or Credit Suisse bullion bars which are great for investment.

Palladium is a rare precious metal that was first discovered in 1803 by William Hyde Wollaston. The metal was named after the asteroid Pallas, which itself was named after the Greek goddess of Athena. Palladium is in the platinum group of precious metals, but is the least dense of those metals and has the lowest melting point of any platinum group metal.

More than half the world’s supply of palladium is used in the production of catalytic converters in automobiles, which are used to convert harmful gases from auto exhaust into less-harmful substances. It is also popular in electronics, dental equipment, and fuel cells. The increasing value of palladium has driven an increase in demand for palladium bars.
