Swiss Credit Bank 20 grams 9999 fine gold wafer/ bar
Now known as Credit Suisse, the last time the name Swiss Credit Bank was used was in 1976. According to the bank's website, the stylised blue cross logo was in use between 1968 and 1976, so it suggests this 20-gram gold wafer dates from that period.

Money is complicated. It's a source of desire, motivation, aspiration, greed, conflicts and evil. It's a token of love yet it causes jealousy and turns family, friends, people and countries against each other.
Gold is the only ultimate hard currency that is truly recognized anywhere in the world as storage of value and purchasing power.
At times of wars and uncertainties, gold over the course of history has proved to be the only "currency" that keeps its purchasing power and is accepted anywhere in the world. History is full of tales of refugees giving up their gold to buy safe passage.
Gold is dense... a 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm (1 cm³) pure gold cube weighs 19.32 grams. A 1m x 1m x 1m ( 1m³ or 3.28 ft x 3.28 ft x 3.28 ft) gold cube would weigh 19,320 kg or 42,593 lbs!
Unfortunately, gold-mining is very polluting and damaging to the environment. Yet, gold is very rare and precious. It's estimated that all the gold ever minded in history can fill just over 3 Olympic-sized swimming pool.
