Since the beginning of human civilization, gold has been viewed as a safe haven for guarding wealth, both personal and national. Up until the 20th century, even the United States government used the gold standard to back all of the currency available in circulation with physical gold. In the years since it was abandoned, gold has increased in popularity anytime the modern markets of the world begin to shake or crumble. The 2.5 Gram Valcambi Gold Bar is just one of many products available to help weary investors keep their hard-earned money safe. Each 2.5 Gram Valcambi Gold Bar ships to you in a blister-proof package, along with an orange label within that includes the assay for the product. These cards feature the name of the refinery on the obverse side, as well as the serial number, assayers mark, and identifying marks on the reverse. These same markings around on both sides of the gold bar itself. On the obverse of each bar youll find the Valcambi Suisse logo at the top, followed by the bars weight, metal content, purity, assayers mark, and individual serial number. Serial numbers on Valcambi bars feature two letters at the start followed by six numbers. On the reverse of each is the Valcambi Suisse corporate name. This side of the bar is accompanied by the assay markings that feature the serial number, weight, purity, and metal content. Due to this packaging, you can see the important marks for your bar regardless of the face you are looking at.
