Gold Bullion Cast Bars are sold in two sizes, 0.5oz and 1oz, priced at $1903 and $3807 respectively.
The precious metal has become a haven for investors during times of uncertainty due to its ability to hold value.
The price of gold has soared more than 20 per cent this year and could continue to rise significantly into 2025.
Citigroup forecast prices next could reach between $US2700 and $US3000 an ounce, up from $US200 and $US500 an ounce from current prices.
