Platinum is extremely scarce, with annual global production only a small fraction of gold's and the vast majority mined in just a few countries, principally South Africa. This rarity is a key reason platinum is valued so highly.

Not always. While platinum can follow gold during broad market shifts, it is driven far more by industrial demand, especially from the car industry, so the two metals can move quite differently depending on conditions.

Platinum bullion is investment grade platinum in bar or coin form, valued by weight and purity rather than design. It is typically fine platinum at 999 purity, such as platinum Britannias or minted bars.
