CombiBar 10×1/10 oz Valcambi gold bar — divisible bar with 10 segments of 1/10 troy ounce
1 troy ounce (31.103 g) of 999.9/1000 fine gold (.9999) in a divisible CombiBar format from Valcambi SA — a Swiss refinery with LBMA Good Delivery accreditation since 1968. The bar consists of 10 segments of 1/10 oz (3.1103 g) each, separable by hand along perforations. Sealed in a CertiCard blister with assay certificate and individual serial number.
The 10×1/10 oz format is the only CombiBar in the Valcambi series denominated in troy ounces rather than grams. The total weight of 1 oz t (31.103 g) matches the most widely traded unit on global precious metals markets, while the division into 10 segments of 1/10 oz enables fractional selling in ounce increments — a format instantly recognised by dealers worldwide. Each separated segment retains its full bullion value and is tradeable on the secondary market.

Valcambi SA — Swiss precious metals refinery
Valcambi SA has operated since 1961 from Balerna in Canton Ticino, southern Switzerland. The refinery processes gold, silver, platinum and palladium with an annual capacity exceeding 2,000 tonnes, ranking among the world's largest precious metals processors.
Valcambi obtained LBMA Good Delivery accreditation for gold in 1968. The Balerna facility runs the complete production cycle — from refining through minting to certification. Valcambi participates in the Green Gold programme for sustainably sourced gold.
Valcambi developed and patented the CombiBar system — a bar divisible into smaller segments along perforations. This innovation combines the benefits of a certified bar with the flexibility of fractional bullion sales.
CombiBar — Valcambi's patented divisible bar system
CombiBar is a patented bullion bar format developed by Valcambi SA. The bar takes the form of a thin card (thickness 0.5 mm in the 10×1/10 oz format), divided into precisely measured segments along perforation lines. Each segment can be separated by hand — without tools and without loss of precious metal. After separation, each segment retains its full bullion value, as it carries its own markings: Valcambi logo, weight and fineness.
The CombiBar system combines the advantages of a certified bullion bar with the ability to sell fractionally. The owner can sell one, several or all segments as needed — without having to dispose of the entire bar. This solution is particularly valued in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), where format flexibility has long been an important criterion when choosing a bullion product.
The 10×1/10 oz format stands out in the CombiBar series as the only configuration denominated in troy ounces. While the other CombiBar formats (5×1 g, 20×1 g, 50×1 g, 100×1 g) operate in the metric system, the 10×1/10 oz variant addresses buyers who think in troy ounces — the dominant unit on the London LBMA market and the New York COMEX exchange. The total weight of exactly 1 oz t (31.103 g) makes this product a natural addition to an ounce-denominated portfolio.
Each CombiBar is sealed in a CertiCard blister — a laminated package serving as both protective packaging and assay certificate with serial number and assayer signature.
Formats and weights — Valcambi CombiBar series
Valcambi SA produces CombiBar bars in several configurations: 5×1 g (Shining Stars and gift case), 10×1/10 oz, 20×1 g, 50×1 g and 100×1 g. All formats share common features — 999.9/1000 fine gold, perforations for hand separation and CertiCard packaging.
The 10×1/10 oz format is the only variant with troy ounce denomination — 1 oz t (31.103 g) divided into ounce fractions rather than grams. For metric flexibility, the 20×1 g, 50×1 g and 100×1 g formats are available.
A full overview of available formats can be found in the gold bullion bars category. Current precious metals prices at precious metals prices.
What to consider before buying?
Before purchasing, check the current gold price and compare the CombiBar 10×1/10 oz price with that of a standard 1 oz minted bar — the divisible format carries a higher premium over spot than a standard minted bar of the same weight, owing to the patented perforation system and larger production surface.
Upon receipt, verify the integrity of the CertiCard blister and that the serial number matches. Store the bar in its blister in a dry place protected from moisture and scratches. An unopened CertiCard package commands a higher price on the secondary market.
The CombiBar 10×1/10 oz is the choice for buyers who value troy ounce denomination — 1 oz t of gold with the option to separate segments of 1/10 oz. For metric flexibility — CombiBar 20×1 g or 50×1 g, while for a lower entry threshold — CombiBar 5×1 g (Shining Stars or gift case variant).

FAQ — Frequently asked questions
How much gold does the CombiBar 10×1/10 oz contain?
The bar contains exactly 1 troy ounce (31.103 g) of 999.9/1000 fine gold (.9999), divided into 10 segments of 1/10 oz (3.1103 g) each. Each segment carries its own markings — Valcambi logo, weight and fineness.
How does the CombiBar system work — can I separate a single 1/10 oz segment?
Yes. CombiBar is a patented divisible bar with perforation lines. Simply bend the desired segment by hand — no tools required and no loss of precious metal. Each separated segment weighing 1/10 oz (3.1103 g) retains its full bullion value and is immediately tradeable on the secondary market.
Does Valcambi hold LBMA accreditation?
Yes. Valcambi SA has held LBMA Good Delivery accreditation for gold since 1968. The London Bullion Market Association confirms compliance with rigorous quality standards.
What is the CertiCard and how does it protect the bar?
The CertiCard is a laminated Valcambi blister that serves simultaneously as protective packaging and assay certificate. It contains the producer logo, weight, fineness, individual serial number and assayer signature. An unopened CertiCard package commands a higher price on the secondary market.
How does the CombiBar 10×1/10 oz differ from the gram-denominated variants?
The CombiBar 10×1/10 oz is the only variant in the series denominated in troy ounces — segments weigh 1/10 oz (3.1103 g) and the total weight is exactly 1 oz t (31.103 g). The other formats (5×1 g, 20×1 g, 50×1 g, 100×1 g) are denominated in grams. Troy ounce denomination is particularly relevant on international markets, where the troy ounce is the base unit of precious metals trading — on the LBMA in London and COMEX in New York.
Is the CombiBar gold bar VAT-exempt?
Yes. Gold bullion in bar form meeting the conditions of EU Directive 98/80/EC is exempt from value added tax. This applies to all CombiBar formats with 999.9/1000 fineness.
How do I buy the CombiBar 10×1/10 oz from GoldInvest24?
Simply add the product to your basket and complete the order. Before purchasing, check the current gold price and compare the premium with other CombiBar formats in the gold bullion bars category.
