The Valcambi 5 g minted gold bar contains 5 grams of 999.9 fine gold in one compact physical product. It moves beyond the smallest 1 g format while still keeping the overall weight modest and easy to combine with future purchases.
Who is the 5 g gold bar for?
The 5 g format reduces the number of separate products and packages compared with building the same total weight entirely from 1 g bars. It usually carries a lower relative premium while retaining more flexibility than concentrating the gold in a larger single bar. This places 5 g between highly divisible micro-bars and more concentrated larger formats.
About Valcambi
Valcambi is a Swiss precious-metals refinery based in Balerna. Founded in 1961, the company produces minted and cast bars across a wide range of weights.
Its refinery is represented on the LBMA Gold Good Delivery List.
Valcambi also produces the separate divisible CombiBar range. The 5 g bar in this card is a standard minted product.
Packaging and certification
The 5 g minted bar measures approximately 23.05 × 13.85 × 1.00 mm. It remains compact while containing five times the gold weight of the 1 g Valcambi bar.
How the price is determined
The starting point is the market value of 5 grams of gold. A premium is added for refining, minting, packaging, quality control and distribution.
Per gram, that premium is usually lower than on a 1 g bar.
