'Shekels' of gold and silver are the world's oldest recorded system of precious metal's weights and measures. In the ancient world, a 'shekel' of gold or silver defined a reliable, sound and stable storehouse of value.

Now over 4000 years later, golden shekels remain the world-leading form of non-confiscatable, personal gold ownership as tangible savings, money of last resort, and as a lasting heritage to future generations.

JWS Independent Colleagues and customers have exclusive access to the world's only range of golden shekels that fit all the criteria of collectable and non-confiscatable.

JWS Shekel range has several distinct advantages over gold savings in other forms;

• outright ownership. By comparision, government issued bullion coins are always the property of the issuing government; the holder is only ever the 'bearer', never the owner. Shekels are non-government issued.
• mint fresh and un-circulated, issued with their refiner's certificate of fine weight and purity.
• stipulated weight and purity, insuring their determined international value
• small denominations of weight making them liquid and easily tradable
• bear an internationally recognized Hallmark, attesting to their internationally reputable purity and minting
• based on the ancient 'shekel', the world's earliest Hebrew system of weights and measures
• fit the description of religious collectable, further protecting against government confiscation
• fit the description of 'free market commodity' (sometimes referred to as free-market money)
