Stackable
Ingot the length of a forearm and the width of two fingers, surface still marked by the ripple of the mould it cooled in, heavy enough that you adjust your stance the moment someone hands it to you. The color is warmer than any paint can manage.
Entry
Chronicle
Cast at the treasury's lower foundry from the coin-melt that the counting houses deliver under escort every fiscal quarter, stamped twice on each face with the assayer's mark and once along the edge with the year. Merchants trade the bar itself rarely and the certificate of weight against it constantly, which is the whole point of keeping the gold in a vault nobody is permitted to tour. A bar missing one of its stamps is worth precisely its weight in suspicion.
