Description: A fresh, innovative way to protect your wealth with the added benefit of a fractionally divisible platinum coin! Armillary coins take their name from the armillary sphere, invented by Erathosthenes circa 200 B.C. An armillary sphere is a model of a globe that is split along it’s equator and other meridians. The Valcambi armillary coins have the same functionality as their CombiBars – a larger sized platinum coin that can be broken into smaller, fractional 1/4 oz coins without any loss of material. The four individual coins are attached to each other in concentric circles, and can be twisted to resemble an armillary sphere. Each Platinum armillary coin is sealed in a hard plastic tamper-proof display card, displaying the signature of the Certified Assayer.
