Valcambi Suisse 1 Kilo Cast Gold Bar

A one kilo gold bar is the largest unit most private buyers ever hold, packing 32.15 troy ounces into a piece that fits in one hand. Cast bars like this one carry the lowest premium per ounce in the gold market because the pouring process skips the finishing work that minted bars require. Valcambi SA is among the largest refiners in Switzerland, and its kilo bars move freely on that reputation.

Key Features:

• Purity & Weight: 995.0 fine gold, 1,000 grams, 32.15 troy ounces
• Metal: Gold, cast and stamped by Valcambi Suisse
• Front: Valcambi wordmark, diamond emblem, weight, fineness, assayer hallmark, serial
• Back: Plain cast field with no stamping

The front face carries the valcambi suisse wordmark across the top in the refiner’s lowercase script. Below sits the faceted diamond emblem, struck with enough depth that each plane catches light separately. Three stamped lines follow: 1 kg, then gold, then 995,0. A boxed hallmark beneath them reads CHI ESSAYEUR FONDEUR, the Swiss melter and assayer mark. The individual serial number runs along the bottom edge.

Surfaces show what cast production leaves behind. The face has a slight roll and dimple where the gold cooled in the mold, edges taper outward toward the base, and the corners round off rather than cutting square. Color runs deep and warm across the whole bar. The back is left entirely blank.

Valcambi refines at Balerna, Switzerland, in the Ticino region, and holds LBMA Good Delivery accreditation. That status is what allows these bars to clear dealers and vaults internationally on the strength of the stamp alone.

Kilo bars are sold without an assay card, which is standard for the cast format and part of why the premium runs low. Each bar carries its own serial number, and numbers vary with inventory. Note that 995.0 fineness is the long-standing London standard for large gold bars, not a shortfall. The bar contains 995 grams of pure gold by weight, and the gross weight is the full kilo.

For anyone consolidating a gold position into fewer, larger pieces, this is the efficient way to do it. Order your Valcambi 1 kilo cast gold bar today.
