Gold Five Grams Bar - Argor-Heraeus, Coin from Switzerland - detailed information

In Switzerland, apart from the government-owned Swissmint, there are also some private mints producing bullion which is not legal tender and is targeted at investors and not at coin collectors, such as this 5g gold piece.

This five-gram gold bar is part of a large range of bullion products by Argor-Heraeus.

Gold bars have been used for thousands of years as a store of wealth. Though gold bullion coins introduced in the 20th century have continued to grow in popularity with investors as a means of private gold ownership, gold bars remain a go-to for nations, banks, and individuals when it comes to storing wealth.
