The Valcambi 100 g cast gold bar contains 100 grams of fine gold in one substantial physical unit. Its defining characteristic is the cast production method, which gives the bar a different surface, geometry and presentation from the minted 100 g version.
Who is the 100 g cast bar for?
At 100 g, both production method and divisibility become relevant. A single 100 g bar concentrates the full weight into one product, while several smaller bars preserve greater flexibility. Cast and minted 100 g bars can contain the same nominal weight and fineness but differ in the way they are produced and finished.
A cast bar is formed through a different production process and can show a less uniform surface or edges than a minted product. That appearance does not indicate lower purity.
The cast 100 g format therefore concentrates a meaningful amount of gold into one product while keeping the traditional character of a cast bar.
About Valcambi
Valcambi is a Swiss precious-metals refinery located in Balerna. Founded in 1961, it produces both cast and minted precious-metal products.
Its refinery is represented on the LBMA Gold Good Delivery List.
Packaging and certification
The 100 g cast bar measures approximately 44 × 25 mm across its main face. Its compact, thicker cast form differs clearly from the flatter and more precisely dimensioned 100 g minted version.
How the price is determined
The price starts with the market value of 100 grams of gold. A premium covers refining, casting, inspection, handling and distribution.
Cast and minted versions can carry different premiums because their manufacturing processes differ.
