Fulvio Mazzoni - Minted Products
Valcambi has many years of experience in creating, designing, and producing numismatic coins and medals. Valcambi produced the world’s first half-gram pieces in gold and silver for collector and numismatic purposes.
Minted coins and medals are cut from specially prepared rolled metal sheets. The blanks have a very high-quality finish and guaranteed purity. Our production process allows us to manufacture alloys of all types in-house for any kind of product purity request.
The combination of Valcambi’s precision, the latest technology, and skilled craftsmanship enable us to create high-quality commemorative or legal tender products in any kind of precious metal.
The service we provide includes original artwork creation, design, special projects, plaster work, die preparation, manufacturing of high-quality semi-finished products, as well as final minting products, including packaging.
All coins and medals produced in our mint are certified by our laboratory, thoroughly inspected by our operators, individually packed, and carefully controlled before shipment. We take great care over each and every demand made by our clients, and we react immediately to ensure that we bring only the very best service and products to you.
Valcambi’s unique medallion ‘Celebrating 100 Years of the LBMA Gold Price 1919-2019 – Past, Present and Future’ has been revealed as the winning design in a prestigious international competition.
To mark the centenary of the first London Gold Price, the LBMA invited its Members, Associates and Good Delivery Refiners to enter a competition to design and deliver a commemorative 1oz silver medallion.
Coins and medals are among the most common types of tailored products that Valcambi supplies to its clients.
The client submits an idea to Valcambi for new medals, or provides a letter of authorisation and a legal tender confirmation to mint new coins.
According to a client’s request, Valcambi prepares an agreed number of design proposals from which the client can choose.
Special finishing can be obtained through colouring techniques or by the setting of precious stones. Various types of standard finishings, like special frosted effects, can be included in the client’s requirements.
According to the client’s decision, Valcambi proceed with the creation of the plaster, and after its approval, with the development of the dedicated fabrication tools.
A sample of the new product is then minted and delivered to the client for final approval.
Valcambi always keeps a representative sample as reference for mass production.
Using the latest technology, Valcambi offers great flexibility allowing the production of both small and large volume orders, with the highest finishing standards, with very short delivery times.
Valcambi’s reliable Swiss workmanship translates into the best products at the most competitive prices.
Offers and orders get structured according to the clients’ requests, volumes, and required service features.
Subject to a minimum ordered quantity, the client is only charged for the realisation of the first set of minting dies.
Development and realisation of customised individual certificates and packaging solutions are integral to the service we offer.
