Gold

Gold is the most sought-after precious metal in the world. In the Middle Ages and beyond, gold was the standard unit of commerce used by nations and people who spoke different languages as civilizations emerged from the Dark Ages and began to move into international trade. It has been a standard of wealth for centuries. Everyone understands the value of gold, regardless of language or cultural barriers. As a primary investment vehicle and wealth protection tool, gold bullion is still regarded as the gold standard today.
