Introduction
Tavex is proud to present the 2g Argor-Heraeus Gold Kinebar. Each bar is supplied in a plastic package, which contain certificate with a serial number and KINEGRAM technology on the back. KINEGRAM technology not only significantly decorates the ingot, but also confirms its authenticity. Argor Heraeus is one of the most famous and largest Swiss investment precious metal producers.
Argor-Heraeus Kinebar is a gold ingot, the surface of which is covered by KINEGRAM technology - the gold standard for protecting government-issued documents and banknotes worldwide (it is a combination of a large number of regularly spaced strokes (micro-scratches) applied to the surface of gold) with an optically variable image. It looks similar to a protective hologram, but KINEGRAM features are fundamentally different from holograms. They are highly secure, not commercially available and exclusively provided to governments. They constitute an extremely high barrier against counterfeiting, and can be authenticated via multiple methods based on human and machine inspection. Conversely, holograms are typically used for commercial and decorative applications. The technologies used to produce them are commercially available and commonly used by counterfeiters.
The KINEGRAM technology is non-holographic. It uses vector-based, specifically engineered nanostructures.
The making of a hologram preclude the creation of precise optical structures, resulting in the exhibition of the typical unspecific reflection of rainbow colors. In a KINEGRAM, the optical effects are highly precise and technically unlimited. The making of a KINEGRAM is so precise that its light reflections can be directed with perfect precision, resulting in the possibility to plan the visual appearance of a KINEGRAM to perfection.
Why Buy
Argor-Heraeus Kinebar gold bars, made using KINEGRAM technology, are the gold bars with the highest level protection against counterfeiting. Kinebar surface contains an specific image, the counterfeiting of which is technologically difficult. KINEGRAM technology is used mainly in the production of government documents such as passports and is not available to private companies. Kinebar guarantees you a product with the premium protection against counterfeiting, which will increase the liquidity of this gold bar.
KINEGRAM functions are fundamentally different from holograms. They are highly secure, not commercially available, and are provided exclusively to governments. More than 120 countries around the world have chosen KINEGRAM technology with a high level of security to provide the best protection for their most important documents from forgery and fraud.
Mint
Minted bars refer to the manufacturing process that is applied to create them. The process begins by heating gold material in a furnace until it turns to a molten slurry. During the heating process, all unwanted impurities in the slurry are removed until only molten gold of high purity is left, most often at around 99.99%. The molten gold is then poured into moulds, usually in the shape of large bars, where it cools and solidifies. The solid gold is then inserted into a mill that rolls the gold into panels with a uniform dimension. Afterwards, the gold panels are inserted into a blanking press that punches blanks out of the gold panels. The next step involves the weighing of each gold blank to ensure that it is neither underweight nor overweight and those that pass this test are then polished for them to obtain a shiny surface. The last stage involves the minting process where the gold blank is inserted into a minting press that presses its die with huge force to transfer the design from the die onto the gold blank. The result is a minted bar. The newly minted gold bar is then inspected before being sealed in a transparent tamper-proof protective package.
