Gold Half Ounce 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 half-ounce gold piece.

This half-ounce 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.
