The Valcambi 2.5 g minted gold bar contains 2.5 grams of fine gold in one compact physical unit. It fills the gap between very small 1 g and 2 g purchases and the more concentrated 5 g format, allowing gold to be accumulated in relatively small independent units.
Who is the 2.5 g gold bar for?
The 2.5 g format sits between micro-bars and the more concentrated 5 g weight. Compared with accumulating entirely through 1 g bars, it reduces the number of separate products and packages. At the same time, multiple 2.5 g bars preserve greater divisibility than concentrating the same total weight in a single larger bar.
About Valcambi
Valcambi is a Swiss precious-metals refinery based in Balerna and operating since 1961. The company produces traditional minted and cast bars as well as specialised products such as CombiBar.
Valcambi also produces CombiBar as a separate product range specifically designed for physical divisibility. The 2.5 g bar in this card is a standard minted product.
Dimensions, packaging and certification
The 2.5 g minted bar measures approximately 19.00 × 11.50 × 0.80 mm. Its dimensions place it between Valcambi’s 1 g and 5 g minted formats, matching its role as an intermediate small-weight gold bar.
How the price is determined
The base value comes from the amount of fine gold contained in the bar. A product premium is then added for refining, minting, quality control, packaging, handling and distribution.
Small denominations usually carry a higher premium per gram than larger bars because those product-level costs are distributed across less gold.
