The bar itself is stamped with its weight, purity, and the RCM logo, and is set into a sealed assay card printed with a serial number that matches the number on the bar.

The assay card is tamper-evident, so the bar does not need to be removed to be verified as long as the packaging is intact.

About the Royal Canadian Mint 1 oz Gold Bar
The Royal Canadian Mint is Canada's federal mint, a Crown corporation based in Ottawa, and one of the most trusted and widely recognized names in the global bullion market, best known for coins like the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf.
The 1 oz bar weighs one troy ounce and is .9999 fine gold. The bar is set into a sealed assay card featuring a repeating maple leaf security pattern with micro-engraving, along with the mint's assay certificate and chief assayer's signature. “In assay” simply means the bar remains in this original sealed packaging rather than having been removed.
Why the Assay Card Matters
A sealed assay card lets a buyer verify the bar's weight and purity without removing it from its packaging, since the card is tamper-evident and the serial number can be checked against the bar visible through the seal. This makes an in-assay bar generally easier to verify and resell than a loose bar of the same brand and weight.
Keep the bar sealed if you plan to sell it. If the assay card is torn, opened, or otherwise compromised, it no longer carries the same verification value as an intact example, even if the bar itself is genuine — bring it in as-is and we can assess what you have.
Our Take
A sealed Royal Canadian Mint 1 oz bar is a straightforward way to hold recognized-brand gold with minimal guesswork — the packaging does most of the verification work up front, and the brand is backed by the Canadian federal mint and accepted by dealers everywhere.
If you have one to sell, keep it sealed and bring it in as-is. Attempting to open the packaging yourself does not help and can reduce what a buyer is willing to pay compared to an intact example.

Common Mistakes With In-Assay Gold Bars
Opening the assay card before selling
Leave the bar sealed in its original assay packaging. Opening it does not add value and removes the verification benefit the packaging provides.
Assuming a sealed card alone proves authenticity
We inspect the assay card for signs of tampering and confirm the serial number rather than accepting a sealed appearance at face value.
Assuming damaged packaging does not matter
A torn, opened, or significantly damaged assay card is not the same as an intact sealed example, even if the bar itself is genuine.
Comparing online retail ask prices to dealer buy prices
An online retail asking price includes dealer margin. A dealer's buy price reflects costs, inventory, and the resale market.
Assuming all refiner brands carry the same premium
The Royal Canadian Mint is a recognized federal mint, but the exact premium a bar commands still depends on condition, packaging, and current market demand — not the brand name alone.

A 1 oz Royal Canadian Mint gold bar contains one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, approximately 31.11 grams, as marked on the bar and its assay card.
The front carries the RCM logo, "Royal Canadian Mint / Monnaie Royale Canadienne" wording, and the stated weight and purity (1 oz, .9999 fine gold). The reverse features a repeating maple leaf security pattern with a micro-engraved maple leaf, along with the assay certificate, chief assayer's signature, and mint address printed on the assay card.
In assay means the bar is sealed in its original tamper-evident case from the Royal Canadian Mint, which certifies the bar's weight and purity without requiring it to be removed and tested individually. The card includes a unique serial number matching the bar itself.
An intact, sealed assay card can carry a small premium over a loose bar of the same brand and weight, since it provides an added layer of verification and is generally easier to resell. The gold content itself is identical either way — the difference comes down to packaging and ease of verification.
It can. A torn, opened, or significantly damaged assay case does not carry the same verification value as an intact sealed example, even if the bar itself is genuine. Bring the bar in as-is and we can assess what you have.
No. Leave the bar sealed in its original tamper-evident case. Opening it does not add value and removes the verification benefit the packaging provides.
We inspect the assay case for signs of tampering, confirm the serial number is legible and consistent, and weigh and evaluate the sealed unit. In some cases additional testing methods may be used. We do not simply take a sealed card at face value without inspection.
