Valcambi Suisse refinery is known around the world for its innovative CombiBar technology that allows precious metal bars to be purchased in larger weights, with break lines that allow for easy division. This same technology has been brought to bear to create one of the most unique coins available on the market today. The all-new 1 oz Valcambi Gold Armillary Sphere is now available on Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Consists of a total weight of one ounce of .9999 fine gold.
  • Issued a total face value of $100 (CID) on behalf of the Cook Islands.
  • Adjusts into the ancient armillary sphere shape.
  • Divisible into four individual coins, each weighing ¼ oz.
  • Coins ship in individual plastic cases.

The concept of the armillary sphere dates back to antiquity. The Greek astronomer Hipparchus credited his predecessor, Eratosthenes with inventing the sphere. An armillary sphere is viewed as a model of the celestial globe, with its various rings and hoops representing the equator and other important meridian lines on the planet.

This remarkable coin is considered legal tender in the Cook Islands. As a solid coin, this piece has a face value of $100. However, in addition to being adjustable to form an armillary sphere, the four individual rings of the coin can be broken off from the main piece to create individual precious metal products worth $25 each.

On the reverse side of each coin is the lone engraving of Valcambi, featured in cursive text. CombiBar technology from the refinery allows the coin to rotate as an armillary sphere or be broken out into four individual coins without the loss of gold content or purity.

The obverse side features individual markings on each of the four rings. Around each of the rings you’ll find the engravings of Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile relief, “Cook Islands,” the year of minting, “Elizabeth II,” and the weight, purity, metal content, and face value of the coin.

Valcambi Suisse was founded in Balerna, Switzerland in 1961 as Valori & Cambi. Originally a private venture, today the refinery is owned by European Gold Refineries, and is considered one of the leading gold bullion brands in the world.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
