10 g Gold Bars

How big a 10 g gold bar actually is

Two refineries publish full specifications for this weight, and they agree closely — a useful reference when product photographs are shot at different magnifications. The table covers published specifications rather than current stock.

Metalor is the outlier: it uses the same 15.5 × 25.5 mm footprint for 5 g and 10 g and publishes no thickness, so a Metalor 10 g bar is shorter and narrower than the Argor-Heraeus and Umicore equivalents.

The step up from 5 g

Doubling the weight roughly halves the share of the price taken by fabrication. That is the entire economic argument for moving up the range, and it applies at every step: the gain from 1 g to 5 g is large, from 5 g to 10 g meaningful, from 50 g to 100 g small.

What you give up is granularity. A 10 g bar has to be sold as 10 g. If that matters, the smaller weights stay divisible; if it does not, every step up the range costs less per gram.

Refiners in this weight

Valcambi, PAMP, Argor-Heraeus, C.Hafner, Umicore, Perth Mint, the Royal Mint, Rand Refinery and Münze Österreich, plus the Argor-Heraeus Kinebar with its embedded KINEGRAM hologram — a security feature Argor-Heraeus is the only refinery licensed to apply.

Valcambi, PAMP, Argor-Heraeus, C.Hafner, Umicore, the Perth Mint and Rand Refinery all appear on the LBMA Good Delivery list for gold. The Royal Mint and Münze Österreich do not appear on it — they are mints rather than accredited refineries, and Münze Österreich states outright that its bars are produced by Argor-Heraeus or PAMP. The accreditation belongs to the refinery and its assay process, not to an individual bar, and the LBMA issues no certificate to a retail buyer.

What you actually pay

The metal value of 10 g at the current market price, plus the producer's premium, plus our margin. Only the first of the three changes during the day, and it changes constantly — see the gold price page for the live figure.

Tax status

Gold bullion is exempt from VAT throughout the European Union under Council Directive 2006/112/EC, Articles 344–346. The exemption covers bars of a fineness of at least 995 thousandths and gold coins of at least 900 thousandths minted after 1800 that are, or have been, legal tender in their country of origin. GoldInvest24 is operated by a Polish company and applies that exemption, so the price shown is the price you pay. This describes how we invoice and is not tax advice — rules in your own country may differ.

Questions buyers ask about this weight

How much is a 10 g gold bar worth?

Ten times the current gold price per gram, plus the premium on the specific bar. The premium varies by refinery and by whether the bar is a plain minted issue or a security-feature version such as a Kinebar.

How big is a 10 g gold bar?

31.5 × 18.5 × 1.0 mm at Argor-Heraeus and 31 × 18 mm at about 1.0 mm thick at Umicore. Metalor uses a narrower 15.5 × 25.5 mm format and publishes no thickness.

What is a Kinebar?

An Argor-Heraeus bar with a KINEGRAM hologram integrated into the metal surface rather than printed on the packaging. Argor-Heraeus is the only refinery licensed to apply it, which makes the feature difficult to reproduce.

Does the bar have a serial number?

On most brands, yes, and it is repeated on the assay card so the two can be checked against each other. Metalor prints a six-digit serial and adds a DataMatrix code from 20 g upwards; Valcambi matches a serial number to the certificate inside the blister.

Can I sell a 10 g bar back?

Yes. Buyback is quoted against the market price at the time you sell, not the price you paid. See the buyback page.
