| Coin | Gold Ounce Bar - Argor Heraeus |

|
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 one-ounce gold piece.
This one-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. |
