Palladium Gram Bar - Valcambi, Coin from Switzerland
CoinPalladium Gram Bar - Valcambi

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 1g platinum piece.

This one-gram palladium bar is part of a large range of bullion products by Valcambi.

The company has a 50 gram palladium CombiBar product which can easily be broken down into fifty 1g pieces like this one, which are then sold individually on the secondary market. Each of them has an inscription on the reverse showing its precious metal content. Their backs though are only part of what was the whole design of the CombiBar.

The obverse of the whole product (combining all fifty mini-bars) features the logo of Valcambi on the left, and the name of the company Valcambi Suisse on two lines above right..

On three lines below that (right-aligned), the precious metal content: 50 g Palladium 999,5.

Near the rim below left is engraved the unique serial number of each CombiBar.

Each separate mini bar has only a small fraction (precisely one fiftieth) of that, which is different depending on the position in had on the grid.
