| Coin | Gold One Hundred Grams Bar - Argor-Heraeus, Cast |
|---|
|
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 100g gold piece.
This Argor Heraeus one-hundred-gram gold bar is cast, and not "milled" (struck by a press). "Cast specimens take you back to an era before the mass automation of production processes. Bars such as these are made by melting down the metal and pouring it into prefabricated molds to meet certain weights, purity, and other dimensions." |
