Union Bank of Switzerland 1 kg Gold Bar (1989), C062993 – with Assay Certificate

A unique 1 kg cast gold bar struck with the marks of Union Bank of Switzerland and produced by the Swiss refiner Argor-Heraeus. Union Bank of Switzerland was one of the largest banks in Switzerland until it merged with Swiss Bank Corporation in 1998 to form today’s UBS. Bars bearing this name and hallmark are no longer produced — which gives this piece genuine collector appeal.

The bar carries the individual serial number, matching the original 1989 Argor-Heraeus assay certificate supplied with it. This is a single, unique item: the surface shows marks of age and handling that are part of the character of a genuine vintage bar. The bar is made using the traditional casting method.

The bar can be collected free of charge from our office. Because its value exceeds the insurance limit of our standard delivery options, delivery is always arranged separately – please contact us by clicking the link below before ordering and we will provide an estimate of the delivery costs.
