Valcambi and the Auropelli series

Valcambi SA from Balerna in Ticino is one of the largest and most renowned precious metals refineries in the world and has been producing bars and coins made of gold, silver, platinum and palladium since the 1960s. The Auropelli series was created in 2018 as a joint product of Valcambi and the German company ESG. The name refers to the figure of Auropelli – a homage to the mythical flute player Kokopelli, whose image has been found on rocks and objects in the southwestern USA for thousands of years. On the obverse of the bar, this gold-panning figure appears alongside the inscription "RESPONSIBLE GOLD", while the reverse bears an individual serial number. This gives Valcambi gold bars a particularly high recognition value and makes them easy to sell around the globe.

Responsible Gold: Green Gold from certified mines

What makes this bar special is its fully documented origin. For the so-called Valcambi Green Gold, only gold from specially certified mines in Nevada is processed. During transport, refining and production, this gold remains strictly separated from conventional material and is monitored by an independent auditor. This provides verifiable guarantees for compliance with environmental standards and human rights, as well as the exclusion of child labor. The bars are also LBMA-compliant – a globally recognized quality standard. Since no additional fair-trade premium is charged, the price stays close to that of conventionally produced bars: sustainable origin without a price disadvantage.

1 gram in comparison: small, divisible, flexible

Compared to larger denominations such as a 20g or 100g bar, the 1-gram format scores with maximum flexibility. You acquire gold in small units, can build up your holdings step by step, and if needed sell exactly as much as you require – an advantage that a single large bar does not offer. While the percentage premium on very small bars is naturally higher than on heavier bars, 1g bars are particularly liquid, easy to store and an ideal entry point. Those who regularly buy small quantities build wealth calmly and steadily, gram by gram.

1 gram of fine gold as an entry into gold investment

Gold is humanity's oldest currency and a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It has an inherent, intrinsic value, has never been worth zero, and is recognized worldwide as a means of payment and exchange. While fiat money can be multiplied at will, the supply of gold remains scarce – one reason for its long-term value stability, and the reason why even central banks, the largest gold holders in the world, keep huge reserves. Small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune; this way, capital can be passed down through generations and built up as a long-term retirement provision.

Gold has been shining for thousands of years – and will never lose its shine.

This bar also makes a convincing gift for birthdays, christenings or weddings: here you are not giving a mere souvenir, but genuine investment gold whose value is tied to the gold price. Profits from the sale of physical gold in Germany are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. Despite the personal occasion, you are acquiring fully-fledged investment gold – minted fine gold from one of Switzerland's finest craftsmanship companies, liquid at any time and resalable worldwide. Anyone who wants to buy the 1g gold bar Responsible Gold from Valcambi is choosing sustainably sourced fine gold with an excellent reputation and lasting value preservation.
