Description
An exquisite example of Middle Eastern bullion, this Tayer 24K gold bar features a traditional crowned female figure in profile, reminiscent of classic regional iconography. The bar is presented in its original cobalt-blue 'Saudi Made' assay card, which serves as a certificate of authenticity. The striking contrast between the textured gown of the figure and the sleek, polished field makes it as much a piece of art as it is a liquid investment. Saudi gold is globally renowned for its high standard of purity and bright coloration.
Key Features
The distinctive 'TAYER' repeat pattern on the assay card, the 'Saudi Made' palm tree logo, and the high-relief frosted finish of the central figure.
Color & Finish
High-luster yellow with a dual finish: a frosted, matte relief (the lady figure) against a mirror-polished (proof-like) reflective background.
Hallmarks & Stamps
The front displays the figure of a crowned woman. The assay card contains 'SAUDI MADE', the 'TAYER' brand logo, and 'FINE GOLD' text. Purity stamps (999.9) are typically located on the reverse side (not visible) or the card.

Approximately 39mm x 22mm x 1.3mm (standard dimensions for a 20g gold minted bar).

None; pure bullion item featuring high-relief minted artistry.
Clasp & Closure
Not applicable; the item is vacuum-sealed in a tamper-evident PVC/polymer assay card for protection and verification.
Chain & Links
Not applicable; the bar has a smooth, raised rim (bezel-style) for structural protection of the proof finish.
Craftsmanship Details
Precision minted (stamped) using heavy hydraulic presses to achieve high-definition detail on the figure's crown and hair, followed by a chemical frost treatment for the matte effect.
Authentication Indicators
Security printing on assay card, crispness of the minting, consistent 24K deep yellow color, and presence of the official Tayer trademark.
Origin & Maker
Saudi Arabia; manufactured by Tayer (distinguishable by the 'Tayer' and 'Saudi Made' branding on the assay card).
Era & Period
Contemporary (2010s–present); reflects modern Middle Eastern bullion minting aesthetics used for investment and bridal gifting.
Age Estimate
Likely produced within the last 5–10 years (circa 2015–2024), based on current assay card design and condition.
Cultural Significance
Gold bars of this weight (10g–50g) are frequently used in Saudi and Indian cultures as 'Mahr' (dowry) or significant wedding gifts, representing financial security for the bride.
Condition Notes
Mint/Brilliant Uncirculated (BU); the bar is protected within its original plastic blister pack. No visible scratches or toning on the gold surface.
Value Estimate
Valued at current gold spot price for 20g plus a 3–7% 'minting premium'. Retail price fluctuates daily with the global market.
Care & Maintenance
Keep inside the original assay card. If removed, handle only with cotton gloves to prevent oil from fingertips causing 'red spots' (oxidation of trace copper) over time.
