CombiBar 50×1g Gold Bar | Valcambi

CombiBar 50×1g Valcambi gold bar — divisible bar with 50 segments of 1 g

50 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 50 segments of 1 g each, separable by hand along perforations. Sealed in a CertiCard blister with assay certificate and individual serial number.

The 50×1g format is one of the two large CombiBar bars in the Valcambi series (alongside 100×1g), combining substantial bullion weight with maximum flexibility for fractional selling. 50 segments of 1 g each allow precise adjustment of the amount sold — from a single gram to the full 50 g.

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 0.4 mm in the 50×1g 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 CombiBar system combines the advantages of a certified bullion bar with the ability to sell fractionally. The 50×1g format offers one of the highest flexibilities in the series — more than double the segments of the 20×1g while maintaining a lower premium per gram.

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 50×1g format provides 50 g (1.6075 oz t) across 50 individual segments — a balance between high flexibility and a lower premium per gram than smaller formats. For the lowest premium, the CombiBar 100×1g is 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 50×1g price with that of a standard 50 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 50×1g is the choice for buyers who need substantial bullion weight with full gram-by-gram division flexibility. For a lower entry threshold — CombiBar 5×1 g or 20×1 g, for the lowest premium per gram — CombiBar 100×1 g.
