UBS KINEBAR

The UBS KINEBAR

has a special quality mark: the

KINEGRAM

*. This is a diffractive security element

on the back of the bar. Depending on the angle,
it reflects light in different colors.
Although this dazzling security feature makes the
UBS KINEBAR

somewhat more expensive, it also

makes it all the more secure. The sophisticated tech-
nology, which was jointly developed by Argor-Heraeus
and OVD Kinegram AG, comes originally from the
field of top security and is used to protect national
ID documents and banknotes.
The KINEGRAM

* confirms beyond any doubt that

the precious metal is genuine. This pays off if the bar
is resold.
* KINEGRAM

is a brand mark of OVD Kinegram AG.

Bullion coins represent a combination of tangible and
intangible assets. In addition to the value of the pre-
cious metal, the artistic design of the coins also exerts
a degree of fascination a monetary asset in its most
beautiful form and equally popular as a liquidity reserve,
an investment, a collectors item or a gift.
Bullion coins
