The Valcambi 1 g minted gold bar contains 1 gram of 999.9 fine gold as one independent physical product. Its main advantage is the ability to keep each gram separate instead of concentrating several grams into one larger bar.
Who is the 1 g gold bar for?
Five grams of gold can be held as five separate 1 g bars or as one 5 g bar.
The total nominal weight is identical, but the structure changes. Five individual bars provide five independent units. A single 5 g bar reduces the number of products and usually carries a lower premium per gram.
The 1 g format suits buyers who value fine divisibility. The cost of that flexibility is a higher premium because each bar must be produced, checked and packaged individually.
Valcambi 1 g is a standard minted bar. CombiBar is a separate divisible product line produced by Valcambi.

Packaging and certification
The 1 g minted bar measures approximately 15.00 × 8.50 × 0.55 mm. It is supplied in protective CertiPack packaging containing the product identification and certification information.
How the price is determined
A 1 g Valcambi bar is priced from the market value of the gold it contains plus the premium for producing and distributing the finished product.
At this weight, fixed production costs have a stronger effect on the price per gram.
