About the Valcambi Platinum Minted Bar

Valcambi Suisse opened its doors in Balerna, Switzerland, in 1961. Since it began as Valori & Cambi, the mint has gone through several mergers that have improved its products and made it known worldwide. One of the most important was its long-term partnership with Credit Suisse, which led to a merger and the name Valcambi Suisse today.

Valcambi is known for its state-of-the-art process and extremely high-quality products. It is also the world’s largest gold refiner, processing more than 2,400 tons of precious metals each year.

While gold has always been the most popular choice for investors (and royalty), platinum is 30 times more rare. It is so rare that it is only found in a few places worldwide, with South Africa accounting for more than 80% of the world’s supply. It is also much harder to mine and in high demand.

Platinum is commonly referred to as “Rich Man’s Gold” due to its long history in jewelry, though it is more commonly used in industrial settings. For example, it is used to manufacture autocatalysts, which are installed between the engine and the muffler in a vehicle’s exhaust lines, where it moderates the dangerous properties of exhaust.

Platinum is used for many other purposes, including catalysts, silicones, hard disks, electronics, glass-making equipment, sensors in home safety devices, electronic medical devices such as catheters, stents, and neuromodulation devices. It even aids in the fight against cancer, featuring in the drugs cisplatin and carboplatin, which are widely used to treat testicular cancer and tumors of the ovary, breast, and lung.

Platinum jewelry also has a long history, and indigenous people in South America created rings and ornaments out of platinum metal over 2,000 years ago. It was also used for decoration by Egyptians as early as the 7th century BC.
