Argor-Heraeus, 1 Gram Gold Kinebar in Assay

Description

For the technology used to produce this bar:

Argor Heraeus developed Kinebar technology in 1993 alongside the Union Bank of Switzerland. The technology uses a holographic kinegram which is embossed on the surface of the reverse of gold bars. The embossing element changes colours and textures according to the viewing angle. On the reverse of the bar, you can find the Argor Heraeus logo and two concentric circles: the small one includes the Mint initials and the bigger circle the full name of the Mint.

For the lovely design:

The obverse is a lot more classic than the reverse and contains several inscriptions. They are all arranged vertically down: the nation of issue (Switzerland), the weight , the metal content (fine gold) and the purity (999.9) The logo is on top of the design and at the bottom features the trademark of the certified assayer and a serial number. The designs on both sides are beautiful and complement each other.

For the extra security:

The hologram is not only remarkable and stunning, it also provides enhanced security for the bars which makes forgery more difficult.Because of this hologram, the Kinebar has grown in popularity with both investors and collectors from around the world.
