The Valcambi 1000 g cast gold bar contains one kilogram of gold with a stated fineness of 999.9. It concentrates the full 1000 g into one physical product and differs from the separate 999.0 version in its declared fineness.
Who is the 1 kg 999.9 bar for?
The 1 kg format concentrates the full weight into one physical product. This reduces the number of separate bars but also provides less divisibility than holding the same total weight in smaller independent units.
The second distinction is fineness. This version is marked 999.9, while the separate product is listed as 999.0.
Neither distinction should be blurred. Weight tells you how much the bar weighs, while fineness describes the declared proportion of gold in the material.
