5 gram Gold Bar Valcambi
5 gram Gold Bar Valcambi
Overview:
A 5 gram gold bar from Valcambi Suisse, combining Swiss precision refining with a mid‑range investment size
Struck in 99.99% pure gold (24 carat) for exceptional bullion quality
Offers an ideal balance of affordability, portability, and gold content
Key Specifications:
Weight: 5 grams (0.1608 troy ounces)
Purity: 99.99% fine gold (0.9999 fineness)
Dimensions (approx.): 30 mm × 17 mm × 1.2 mm
Manufacturer: Valcambi Suisse (Buchs, Switzerland)
Certification: Individually serialized for full traceability
Design:
Obverse: Displays the Valcambi logo above the iconic “Crystalline” motif—its multi‑faceted pattern reflects light to assist visual authentication
Reverse: Clearly stamped with “5 g,” “999.9,” “Au,” and a unique laser‑engraved serial number along the bottom edge
I find the crystalline design particularly striking at this scale, giving the bar a refined, modern appearance
Packaging & Security:
Encased in a tamper‑evident assay card featuring Valcambi’s hallmark and the bar’s certificate of authenticity
Sealed within protective plastic to prevent scratches and preserve its mint condition
Matching serial number on both the bar and assay card ensures easy verification and deters counterfeiting
Why It Stands Out:
Mid‑Size Sweet Spot: Higher gold content than lower‑weight bars while remaining compact and stackable
Competitive Premium: Low markup over spot price thanks to Valcambi’s efficient Swiss refining processes
Distinctive Aesthetic: The crystalline motif offers both visual appeal and practical authentication benefits
Investment Flexibility: Perfect for incremental stacking, gifting, or diversifying a precious metals portfolio with modest increments
