Platinum Gram Bar - Valcambi, Coin from Switzerland
CoinPlatinum 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 platinum bar is part of a large range of bullion products by Valcambi.

Compared to other precious metals like gold and silver, platinum is significantly scarcer, which contributes to its higher value in the market. Its rarity and unique physical properties, such as its resistance to corrosion and high melting point, make platinum highly sought after in various industries, including automotive, jewelry, electronics, and chemical manufacturing.

Details

Valcami also has CombiBar products, where a bar of e.g. 50 grams is designed to be broken down easily into fifty individual pieces of one gram, each carrying an inscription of the precious metal on the reverse. The obverse of these "combi bars" has a design covering the whole service, and each separate mini bar only has one-fiftieth of that, i.e. it gets part of the design depending on its position in the grid.

These mini bars do not have individual serial numbers.
