coin bar Explanation: The key difference seems to be that a “muntbaar” is called a "coin" because it is/was legal tender, whereas the “baar” is a certified quantity of metal (cast in a mould). This difference is relevant for tax purposes, among other things.

Looking at various websites offering various rectangular bar/ingot-like “coins”, “coin bar” seems to be a term often used. http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/sis.html?_nkw=4OZ 999 SILVER BULL... http://www.govmint.com/item/2010_World_Coin_Bar_Collection/1... http://www.weightoncoin.co.uk/coins/index.php?main_page=prod... |
