The easiest way<br />
to invest in peerless<br />
permanence.<br />
For 6,000 years, gold and silver have played<br />
a key role in most advanced civilizations as<br />
means of payment and stores of purchasing<br />
power. To this day, they remain mainstays<br />
of mo<strong>der</strong>n asset management and part of a<br />
balanced, diversifi ed portfolio.<br />
Investment<br />
Every investment is only as successful as the strategy<br />
behind it. What role should precious metals play in your<br />
portfolio? And what is the best fi t for your investment<br />
horizon? When you set out to answer these questions,<br />
you can count us to be there for you every step of the<br />
way when you prepare to buy, store and perhaps resell<br />
an asset.<br />
Classic investments with excellent prospects for the future<br />
Would you care to diversify your investment in precious<br />
metals? Gold and silver are not your only options at<br />
<strong>Degussa</strong>. We have been reissuing our bars featuring<br />
the trademark <strong>Degussa</strong> Sun and Moon signet since<br />

range attests to <strong>Degussa</strong>‘s outlook—rooted in tradition<br />
with our sights set fi rmly on the future.<br />

Gold bars and ingots<br />
Gold bars and ingots<br />
THE CLASSIC BULLION<br />
FORMAT.<br />
Gold stands for stability even in times of turmoil. Unlike<br />
paper money, it cannot be increased at will. Its supply is<br />
limited. And that is precisely why gold has always been so<br />
coveted. We don‘t know today what tomorrow‘s currency<br />
may be, but history has taught us this: Gold is sure to<br />
retain its value for centuries to come.<br />
A bank security number for every bar<br />
<strong>Degussa</strong>‘s world-famous bars with the gold standard<br />
fi neness of 999.9 are available in our showrooms and<br />
online store for just a small premium above the day‘s gold<br />
price. They are the classic expression of a philosophy<br />
committed to effi ciency and value retention. That‘s what<br />
makes them so precious – for you and for future generations<br />
to come. Each <strong>Degussa</strong> gold bar comes with a bank security<br />
number. You can also store your bars in a depot at your<br />
bank using this Swiss security identifi cation code.<br />
<strong>Degussa</strong> cast gold ingots are suitable for larger investments. They are<br />
available in 100 g, 250 g, 500 g and 1,000 g formats.<br />
Certificate of authenticity included<br />
All minted <strong>Degussa</strong> bars come in a robust blister pack with a<br />
dual-page certifi cate of authenticity. Cast <strong>Degussa</strong> gold and<br />
silver ingots weighing from 100 g to 1,000 g come sealed in<br />
transparent foil backed with a one-page certifi cate inside.<br />
<strong>Degussa</strong> minted gold bars come in smaller units. They are available in 1 g,<br />
2.5 g, 5 g, 10 g, 20 g, 1 oz, 50 g and 100 g formats.<br />
Special formats such as the <strong>Degussa</strong> combination gold bar are an<br />
excellence choice for those special types of investments. They feature<br />
20 or 50 custom-designed bricks weighing 1 g each at a far lower price<br />
than single gram bars.<br />

BULLION COINS FROM SWITZER-<br />
LAND AND ALL OVER THE WORLD.<br />
POPULAR WITH COLLECTORS<br />
AND INVESTORS ALIKE.<br />
Our Zurich and Geneva showrooms and our online store<br />
carry a range of products for you that is comprehensive<br />
in every respect. We not only stock mo<strong>der</strong>n bullion coins<br />
such as the South African Krugerrand and the Canadian<br />
Maple Leaf; our offering also includes rare and in some<br />
cases strictly limited editions from all over the world.<br />
Always in stock at <strong>Degussa</strong><br />
Many gold coins such as the Swiss Vreneli were originally<br />
issued in great quantities as a gold-backed legal ten<strong>der</strong>.<br />
They have survived in great numbers, so they are today<br />
traded at close to the current gold price, which makes<br />
such coins interesting options for investors.<br />
The most important criterion for bullion coins‘ daily price<br />
is their precious metal content. Even so, many investors<br />
hold handsomely themed coins in high regard simply<br />
for their lovely designs. A host of international mints has<br />
launched themed series with eye-catching new coins<br />
added every year.<br />

ADDING AN EXOTIC TOUCH<br />
TO BULLION COINS.<br />
In ancient Greece and Rome as well as during the Middle<br />
Ages, the Spanish conquest of the Americas, and the days<br />
of the German Empire – silver has been a coveted metal<br />

today still fi nd it reassuring to have coins with such great<br />
intrinsic value in their possession.<br />

Platinum metal bars<br />
Platinum metal bars<br />
UPWARDLY MOBILE: INDUSTRIAL<br />
PRECIOUS METALS.<br />
Platinum is a one of the key resources used to manufacture<br />
catalytic converters. Its chemical properties weren‘t<br />
investigated in depth until the 18th century. And it was<br />
only the 1924 discovery of a large deposit in South Africa<br />
– the Merensky Reefs – that made large-scale platinum<br />
mining economically viable.<br />
Invest in indispensable, future-proof resources<br />
Discovered as recently as 1803, palladium has been minted<br />
in coins and bars for investors since the mid-20th century.<br />
Today palladium is also an important industrial commodity.<br />
This industry-driven demand makes <strong>Degussa</strong> palladium<br />
bars and ingots from 1 oz to 1 kg an excellent choice as a<br />
strategic addition to your portfolio.<br />
<strong>Degussa</strong> minted platinum bars are available in 10 g, 20 g, 1 oz, 100 g and<br />
500 g formats. The <strong>Degussa</strong> cast platinum ingot weighs 1,000 g.<br />
Rhodium is particularly rare. The global yield is just 22<br />
tonnes per year. This supply could easily fi t un<strong>der</strong> a kitchen<br />
table, yet it has to cover the demand for around 50 million<br />
cars. <strong>Degussa</strong> is the fi rst vendor in Switzerland and Germany<br />
to sell rhodium in bars.<br />
Silvery-white and shiny, iridium is a very hard and brittle<br />
precious metal. Among the pure metals, it is second in<br />
density only to osmium. Among other applications, it is used<br />
in the electrical industry to manufacture long-lasting, ultra<br />
robust contacts.<br />
<strong>Degussa</strong> minted palladium bars are available 1 oz and 100 g formats.<br />
<strong>Degussa</strong> cast palladium ingots weighing 500 g and 1,000 g are also<br />
available.<br />
<strong>Degussa</strong> rhodium bars are available in 1 oz and 100 g formats.<br />
<strong>Degussa</strong> ruthenium and iridium bars come in the 1 oz format.<br />

least once a month in every <strong>Degussa</strong> showroom. Please<br />

store. Feel free to browse our website at your leisure<br />
before we meet. You‘re sure to fi nd inspiration for your<br />

THESE COINS TELL THE STORY<br />
OF ERAS PAST.<br />
RELICS OF THE GOLD<br />
STANDARD‘S HEYDAY.<br />
The name of the Lydian king Croesus still rings a bell today.<br />
His enduring fame owes a great deal to the fact that he<br />
issued the fi rst gold coins with standardised size and value<br />
in the 6th century BC.<br />
The great civilisations‘ precious metal of choice<br />
Many eminent rulers followed Croesus‘ example. Precious<br />
metal currencies provided the economic un<strong>der</strong>pinning<br />
for entire empires. And these precious metals truly are<br />
indelible, which is why to this day they still bear mute<br />
witness to their times.<br />
Collectible coins struck from 1800 onwards were usually<br />
minted as currency intended for circulation. They were<br />
widely used and many have survived.<br />
Collectibles of lasting value<br />
Ancient and medieval coins are almost always distinctive<br />
specimens whose price is determined by a set of variable<br />
consisting the material‘s value, the coin‘s condition and<br />
rarity, and current demand on collectors‘ markets. Gold<br />
coins of a more recent vintage are often traded close to<br />
the current gold price. This makes them a great gateway<br />
option for fl edgling hobbyists and an interesting prospect<br />
for the pure investor.<br />
