CombiBar 100×1g Valcambi gold bar — the largest divisible bar in the CombiBar series
100 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 100 segments of 1 g each, separable by hand along perforations. Sealed in a CertiCard blister with assay certificate and individual serial number.
The 100×1g format is the largest CombiBar in the Valcambi series, combining the highest bullion weight (100 g = 3.2150 oz t) with the maximum number of segments. 100 individual segments of 1 g each provide full control over the amount sold — from a single gram to the full 100 g. This format also carries the lowest premium per gram of any CombiBar variant, making it the most cost-effective divisible bar for buyers seeking substantial bullion weight.

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 LBMA Responsible 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 0.8 mm in the 100×1g format), divided into precisely measured segments along perforation lines. Each segment can be separated by hand — without tools and without loss of precious metal.
The 100×1g format is the flagship of the CombiBar series — the largest available configuration with 100 segments of 1 g each. It is the only CombiBar offering a full 100 g of gold in divisible form, resulting in the lowest premium per gram across the entire series. Five times as many segments as the 20×1g and double the 50×1g.
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 100×1g format tops the series in both weight and segment count. It offers the lowest premium per gram among all CombiBar variants — the larger the format, the lower the unit cost per segment. For smaller quantities with division flexibility, the 50×1g, 20×1g and 5×1g 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 100×1g price with that of a standard 100 g minted bar — the divisible format carries a higher premium over spot than a standard minted bar of the same weight.
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.
The CombiBar 100×1g is the choice for buyers seeking the highest available bullion weight in divisible form at the lowest premium per gram. For a lower entry threshold — CombiBar 5×1 g or 20×1 g, for an intermediate weight — CombiBar 50×1 g.

FAQ — Frequently asked questions
How much gold does the CombiBar 100×1g contain?
The bar contains exactly 100 g of 999.9/1000 fine gold (.9999), equivalent to 3.2150 troy ounces. The weight is distributed across 100 segments of 1 g each, every segment carrying its own markings — Valcambi logo, weight and fineness.
How does the CombiBar system work — can I separate a single 1 g 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 1 g segment 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 as both protective packaging and assay certificate. It contains the producer logo, weight, fineness, individual serial number and assayer signature.
How does the CombiBar 100×1g differ from the 50×1g and 20×1g?
The CombiBar 100×1g is the largest format in the series — 100 segments of 1 g (totalling 100 g) with the lowest premium per gram of any CombiBar variant. For comparison: the 50×1g has 50 segments (50 g) and the 20×1g has 20 segments (20 g). The larger the format, the lower the unit cost per segment, but the higher the entry threshold.
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 100×1g from GoldInvest24?
