Doing some research, hard to find anything about these though. Maybe it's actually two different companies, I am not sure yet.........

Look up chipgold Tinbox.
A while back there was a trend overseas to market 1, 2, 2.5, 5 etc gram gold bars encapsulated in a credit card
sized tamper proof plastic holder. There were a few different companies doing it the Istanbul refinery was one of them.
Not sure how well it caught on, I don't think they are making them anymore but I could be wrong.
Some are .995 so watch it but otherwise they are a safe buy.

The ones which are made to be shipped to America have a different name than the ones which are targeted for their local clients.
IGR = english
IAR = isn't english
Re: Why does Istanbul refinery have two different one gram gold bars?
Crypse is right:
IGR = English: Istanbul Gold Refinery
IAR = Turkish: Istanbul Altın Rafinerisi
