φ our inspiration

Phi is the Greek letter which represents the "golden ratio", an irrational number (1.618…) with many unusual mathematical properties. During the Renaissance, artists referred to the golden ratio as the "Divine Proportion" and made use of it as they strove for beauty and balance in the design of art. The "golden ratio" is our inspiration for the concept idea and design of our coins.

Passion in creation

We are passionate about our business. We are dedicated to the creation of new standards, pioneering in the realms of design and technology. We are committed to producing precious metal coins that will last for generations. We strive to excel in using the best techniques and look to innovation in order to deliver the ultimate reference coins and round ingots. We believe in combining the best of the past with the best of the future in order to deliver the ultimate product.

Aesthetic store of value

At Swiss Bullion Corp, we believe that quality and security should not substitute the allure and artistry of fine craftsmanship: to design our Swiss Bullion round ingot we have selected Roger Pfund, the internationally renowned Swiss graphic artist well known for his design of the banknotes of numerous countries. He is also responsible for the logo of our company and its corporate identity.

Swiss Made

Switzerland is recognized as one of the world’s most important centers for the exchange and transformation of precious metals. It is also home to the watch making "manufacture", a truly Swiss tradition, whereby local watchmakers call upon the expertise of the best possible artisans in each area of specialisation, in order to assemble the finest timepieces. Swiss Bullion Corp follows this same tradition, by bringing together the skill sets of a trustworthy refiner, the research and development expertise of an exceptional team of security engineers and the artistic qualities of a specialised and talented graphic artist, to produce attractive and secure bullion coins and ingots of the highest quality. This unique combination allies time-honoured practices and traditions, with technological innovation and a modern approach to art.

The face value of a gold coin is the nominal value given to a legal tender. For example a 1oz Gold American Eagle coin has a face value of USD 50, but it will always be traded at the market price of gold according to its purity.

2. What is a legal tender?

A currency in specified denominations that a creditor must by law accept in redemption of a debt.

3. Why is the finesses of the precious metals relevant?

Fineness is the purity of a given precious metal. Precious metals purity, is usually expressed in parts per thousand; thus .995, means 99.5% pure and 999.9 stands for 99.99% purity. The latter is also known as four nine (9999). To refine and attain pure gold, the smelter has to separate the gold from the other metals (copper, silver,...).

4. Do you know that the Swiss Confederation stopped to strike Vreneli gold coins?

The last Swiss Vreneli 20 Fr. gold coins were produced by the Swiss mint in 1949.

A gold bar weighting 1 kilogram approximately 32.151 troy ounces with purity of 999.9 / 1000. This is a standard accepted worldwide for bullion cast bars.

8. What is the reference price of gold?

The London gold fixing is the procedure by which the price of gold is determined twice each business day on the London market by the five members of The London Gold Market Fixing Ltd. It is designed to fix a price for settling contracts between members of the London bullion market, but informally the gold fixing provides a recognized rate that is used as a benchmark for pricing the majority of gold products and derivatives throughout the world's markets. The gold fix is conducted in United States dollars (US$), Pound sterling (GBP), and the euro (€) daily at 10.30am and 3pm, London time.

9. What is the gold standard?

A monetary system based on convertibility into gold; paper money backed and interchangeable with gold.

10. What is a "Good delivery bar"?

Large bars, the ingots that conform to the London Good Delivery and should weigh between 350 and 430 ounces (gold content) of a minimum purity of 99.5%.

11. What is the "Good delivery standard"?

The specification to which a gold bar must conform in order to be acceptable on a certain market or exchange. Good delivery for the London Bullion Market is the internationally accredited good delivery standard.

12. What is LBMA?

The London Bullion Market Association acts as the coordinator for activities conducted on behalf of its members and other participants of the London Bullion Market, and it is the principal point of contact between the market and its regulators. The LBMA sets and promotes quality standards for gold and silver bullion bars. The minimum acceptable fineness of the Good Delivery Bars is 99.5% for gold bars and 99.9% for silver bars.The London bullion market is an over-the-counter market for wholesale trading of gold and silver.

13. What is the etymology of "bullion"?

Metal in the mass, usually coin, bars, or ingots. The word "bullion" reportedly originates from Claude de Bullion (13th October 1569 – 22nd December 1640), a French aristocrat and politician who served as Minister of Finance under Louis XIII from 1632 to 1640. An alternative theory suggests that it comes from the old French word "bouillon", which meant "boiling" and was the term for a mint or melting house.

14. What is the "carat" measure?

Unit of fineness, scaled from 1 to 24, 24 carat gold (or pure gold) has at least 999 parts pure gold per thousand; 18 carat gold has 750 parts pure gold and 250 parts alloy per thousand. For example, 1 oz gold Kruggerand is 22 carat and minted from gold alloy that is 91.67% pure and copper for the remaining 2 carat.

15. Where does the term "Troy ounce" comes from?

A Troy ounce is the standard weight in which gold is quoted in the international market, weighing 31.1035 grams. It is named after the old French city of Troyes, the location of an annual trading fair in medieval times.

16. What is the premium?

The market value of a coin or product less the intrinsic value (actual value of the precious metal within the coin) of the same represents the premium.

17. What is a restrike coin?

A numismatic item produced from original dies at a later date. Example: the Swiss Vreneli 20 Fr. 1935, re-struck in 1947.

18. What are the chemical symbols for precious metals?

Gold is Au, from the Latin word "Aurum" which means shining dawn. Silver is Ag, from the Latin word "Argentum". Platinum is Pt, from the Spanish word "Platina". Palladium is Pd, from the asteroid "Pallas".

19. Is gold a currency?

Gold has been used throughout history as money.

20. What is White gold?

White gold is a pale precious metal alloy of gold usually with platinum or nickel or palladium.

21. What is a gold allocated account?

An account in which a client's metal is individually identified as his/hers, and physically segregated from all the other gold in the vault. The majority of banking metal accounts are unallocated, so the metals are bundled with other ownership in the vault. This storage method is cheaper, but with inherent risk.

Innovative Security

In our search for ultimate security and in our fight against forgery, we have devoted a considerable amount of time to extensive research and have developed a unique digital authentication and certification architecture for precious metal coins, with special emphasis on gold. This architecture consists of a combination of technologies that makes each of our coins unique, easily identifiable and irreproducible. On our coins, we engrave an aztec code containing its serial number and a "url" link to its digital authentication certificate.

Finest minting quality

In order to guarantee the finest minting quality, Swiss Bullion Corp has selected the best Swiss professionals in precious metals metallurgy and in minting to produce its 1 ounce and 1 kilo bullion coins and ingots.

Exclusive hallmark

In Switzerland, precious metal articles must bear the mark that qualifies their fineness and must equally bear a responsibility mark, in accordance with the Swiss Precious Metal Control Act. Swiss Bullion Corp is duly registered and holds its own hallmark: φ, our own representation of "Phi", the Greek letter which stands for the golden ratio.

Investment gold

In February 2013, the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, a division of the Federal Department of Finance, granted Swiss Bullion Corp the right to produce one ounce and one kilo Swiss bullion round ingots (999,9/1000 fineness). This qualifies our round ingots as "investment gold", as per regular gold bars and, as such, they are VAT exempt.
