Gold bars 5 g
Number of products: 245 g gold bars are among the most popular weights for people building a physical gold portfolio. A 5 gram gold bar offers a clearly lower premium (10–16%) than smaller formats while remaining affordable and easy to resell — a practical compromise between cost efficiency and liquidity.
At GoldInvest24 you will find 5 g gold bars from renowned producers: Valcambi, PAMP Suisse, Argor-Heraeus and C.Hafner — each of 999.9 fineness, with a certificate of authenticity and factory packaging. Check the available variants as well as the current gold price and the terms of our precious metals buyback.
5 g gold bar – the best price-to-quantity ratio among small weights
At the 5 g weight, the premium begins to drop noticeably. While 1 g bars carry a 25–40% premium and 2.5 g bars 16–30%, a 5 gram gold bar usually sits in the 10–16% range above spot. This makes the 5 g weight a natural choice for people who want to accumulate physical gold cost-efficiently without yet moving to large formats such as 10 g or 1 oz.
At the same time, the 5 g bar keeps high liquidity and an affordable unit price. It is an amount that fits the budget of regular purchases, yet low enough that the bar can be sold in full at any time — without having to sell a larger, "indivisible" format.
Renowned producers of 5 g bars
Valcambi (Balerna, Switzerland, est. 1961) and PAMP Suisse (Castel San Pietro, Switzerland, est. 1977) are the two most recognisable Swiss gold refineries, both LBMA Good Delivery accredited. PAMP offers in this weight the iconic Fortuna design with a Veriscan assay card.
Argor-Heraeus (Mendrisio, Switzerland) is another world-class Swiss refinery whose bars stand out with advanced security features (Kinegram). C.Hafner (Pforzheim, Germany) is a German refinery with a tradition dating back to 1850, valued on the DACH market for precision and uniform quality. All keep the identical 999.9 fineness and VAT exemption.

Why choose a 5 g gold bar?

- High liquidity: the 5 g bar is instantly recognised by all gold buyers and easy to sell in full.
- Affordable unit price: an amount that fits the budget of regular purchases.
- Wide choice of producers: Valcambi, PAMP, Argor-Heraeus and C.Hafner — design, security and price to suit.

How much is a 5 g gold bar worth? Value and premium
The value of a 5 gram gold bar comes above all from the current gold price: 5 g multiplied by the spot price per gram, plus a 10–16% premium for production, packaging and distribution. So how much 5 grams of gold is worth moves with the market. Before buying, follow the current precious metals quotations.
5 g or 10 g – which to choose?
The choice between 5 g and 10 g depends on budget and purchase strategy. A 5 g bar allows more frequent, smaller purchases; a 10 g bar lowers the premium further (7–12%) but requires a larger one-off outlay. Two 5 g bars contain the same gold as one 10 g bar but can be sold or gifted separately — the 10 g bar is "indivisible".
VAT and tax matters
Products meeting the statutory definition of investment gold are exempt from VAT throughout the EU under Directive 2006/112/EC. In the case of a possible future resale, income tax matters should be assessed each time with regard to the individual situation and the applicable regulations.
