Gold bar 10 grams Kinebar Heraeus / Argor-Heraeus

A kinebar is a gold bar which contains a kinegram to prove its authenticity. A kinegram (greek κίνησις [kínesis] = „movement“ and γράμμα [grámma] = „written“) is a security hologram, embossed as diffractive security device into the gold. The special kinegram used has been developed by OVD Kinegram Corp. (Switzerland). It is intended both as a security feature and for visual appeal.
The Kinebar is a registered trademark of Union Bank of Switzerland, which through Argor-Heraeus S. A. has applied the kinegram as a security device to the reverse of its minted bars since 1994.
