Gold bars 500 g
Number of products: 0500 g gold bars are the wholesale weight — half a kilogram of fine gold with one of the lowest premiums on the market, just 1.5–3% above spot. At a gold price of ~614 PLN/g (April 2026) the value of 500 g is around 307,000 PLN, with a total cost of about 311,000–316,000 PLN. It is a store of value for those accumulating very large capital in physical gold who prioritise minimising cost above the metal value.
At GoldInvest24 you will find 500 g bars from renowned LBMA refineries — Argor-Heraeus, Valcambi, PAMP Suisse, C.Hafner, Umicore and Münze Österreich — most often in cast form, each of 999.9 fineness with a certificate of authenticity. Check the variants as well as the current gold price and the terms of our precious metals buyback.
500 g gold bars – the wholesale weight for large capital
The 500 g gold bar is half a kilogram of fine gold — a weight from the wholesale segment, where the premium drops to 1.5–3% above spot. That is almost as low as a kilo bar and clearly less than 100 g (2–4%) or 250 g (1.8–3.5%). At 500 g, practically the entire amount paid corresponds to the value of the pure gold; production and packaging costs spread over half a kilogram become negligible.
The entry threshold of around 311,000–316,000 PLN (April 2026) places the 500 g bar in the segment of very large purchases — twice the price of a 250 g bar and half that of a kilo bar. One 500 g bar replaces five 100 g bars, greatly simplifying the storage of a very large portfolio.
Renowned producers of 500 g bars
Argor-Heraeus (Mendrisio, Switzerland, 1951) and Valcambi (Balerna, 1961) are two of the three great Swiss gold refineries, both LBMA Good Delivery accredited. PAMP Suisse (1977) offers the classic standard version. Münze Österreich (Vienna, 1194) — especially valued in the German-speaking market — along with C.Hafner (Pforzheim, 1850) and Umicore (Brussels, 1805) complete the range.

Why choose a 500 g gold bar?

- Full liquidity: bought back by all professional LBMA dealers and metal banks at the spot price.
- Lower threshold than a kilo: around 311,000–316,000 PLN, half a kilo bar.
- VAT exemption: like all bullion gold bars of fineness ≥ 995/1000 under Directive 2006/112/EC.
- Compact store of large value: around 307,000 PLN of value in a hand-sized bar.
How much is a 500 g gold bar worth?
The value of a 500 g gold bar comes from the current gold price (500 g × spot price per gram) plus a premium of 1.5–3%. At ~614 PLN/g the total price is around 311,000–316,000 PLN. Before buying, follow the current precious metals quotations.
500 g or 1 kg?
Both weights carry a similar, lowest-on-market premium (1.5–3%), so moving from 500 g to 1 kg brings only a marginal cost saving. The 500 g bar requires half the budget and offers more flexibility — two pieces can be sold separately, while the kilo 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.

Why does a 500 g bar have such a low premium?
