100 g Gold Bar | Valcambi

100 g Valcambi Gold Bar — largest Certipack weight with minimal premium and full market recognition

100 g of 999.9/1000 fine gold (.9999) in a minted bar format from Valcambi SA — a Swiss refinery with LBMA Good Delivery accreditation since 1968. The product comes sealed in an original Certipack with an assay card confirming weight, fineness and individual serial number.

The 100 g format is the largest weight in the Valcambi series available in the Certipack system — a hermetically sealed package combining a protective blister with an assay card. At this weight, the premium over spot reaches one of the lowest levels in the entire minted bar range, making 100 g the reference product for buyers making large single purchases. The bar combines full scale advantage with the convenience of original packaging ensuring instant acceptance 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 the four main precious metals — gold, silver, platinum and palladium — with an annual capacity exceeding 2,000 tonnes. Serving central banks, state mints and global dealers, Valcambi is one of the most important participants in the global precious metals supply chain.

Valcambi obtained LBMA Good Delivery accreditation for gold in 1968. The refinery also holds LBMA accreditations for silver, platinum and palladium — the complete set for all four precious metals.

The Balerna facility runs the complete production cycle — from raw material refining (mine-doré and recycled metal under LBMA Responsible Gold) through minting to final Certipack sealing. Vertical integration guarantees quality control at every stage of production.

Valcambi operates responsible sourcing programmes in accordance with OECD Due Diligence and LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance standards. The portfolio also includes innovative formats such as CombiBar and special series including Green Gold with sustainability certification.

Certipack — Valcambi's packaging and authentication system

Certipack is Valcambi's patented packaging system for small-format gold bars. Each bar is hermetically sealed in a laminated blister serving as an assay card — confirming weight, fineness and individual serial number.

The 100 g bar is the largest format in the Certipack system. The packaging (approx. 91 × 61 mm) is slightly larger than for weights up to 50 g but retains the same construction — laminated blister with assay card, individual serial number and hallmark. The bar can be visually verified through the transparent blister section without opening the packaging.

From 250 g onwards, Valcambi uses separate assay certificates — the bar is not hermetically sealed but delivered with a certificate in a separate sleeve. In the secondary market, an intact Certipack ensures immediate acceptance without additional verification.

Formats and weights — Valcambi gold bar series

Valcambi SA produces gold bullion bars in the following weights: 0.5 g, 1 g, 2.5 g, 5 g, 10 g, 20 g, 50 g, 100 g, 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg. All formats up to and including 100 g are available in the Certipack system. Gold fineness is identical across all weights — 999.9/1000 (.9999).

The 100 g format closes the Certipack series and opens the large bar segment. It is the boundary weight — the largest available with hermetic packaging and the first at which the per-gram premium approaches the level of large cast bars. Buyers choose 100 g as their main accumulation unit for larger outlays, combining it with smaller formats (10-50 g) for portfolio top-ups.

What to consider before buying?

Before purchasing, check the current gold price and compare the product price with the spot price. The premium over spot for the 100 g format is minimal — among the lowest for minted bars. When comparing offers, the final price matters — not the percentage premium alone.

The assay card and intact Certipack directly affect the resale price. A bar with a damaged blister may require additional verification by the dealer, lowering the realised price on sale. Store the product in its original packaging, protected from moisture and scratches.

The 100 g format is suited for buyers with larger one-off amounts who want to minimise the premium while enjoying Certipack benefits. For even larger outlays, consider 250 g or 1 kg — their per-gram premium is lower still, but the product is delivered without Certipack in favour of a separate certificate.
