Number of products: 153Gold bullion bars are the most direct way to buy physical gold — no collector elements, no additional design, purely precious metal in a standardised format. At GoldInvest24 you can buy gold bars from producers with LBMA accreditation — Argor-Heraeus, PAMP, Valcambi, Umicore, Perth Mint and C.Hafner — in weights from 1 g to 1 kg, each with an individual serial number and manufacturer certificate.
Every gold bullion bar in our range meets international standards with a fineness of 999.9 (24 kt) and comes from a refinery on the Good Delivery list. Regardless of the chosen weight, you are buying a product with precisely defined mass and purity — ready for immediate verification. Check how much a gold bar is worth, compare the available formats and the current gold spot price, and choose the bar that matches your needs.
What are gold bullion bars?
Gold bullion bars are standardised products from precious metals refineries whose value derives directly from the pure gold content and current precious metal quotations. Unlike coins, bars carry no face value and no legal tender status — their sole function is to precisely represent a defined gold mass at 999.9 fineness.
Two categories are available on the market — minted bars and cast bars. Minted bars are produced from gold strip, given a smooth finish and factory-sealed in a certipack with a serial number. Cast bars are made by pouring gold into a mould — they have a characteristic surface texture and are typical for larger weights (250 g, 500 g, 1 kg).
Why buy gold bars?
Gold bars are a format valued for simplicity and efficiency. You buy a specific quantity of pure gold with no premium for design, issue history or collector value. At larger weights — from 100 g upwards — the price-to-weight ratio is typically the most favourable among all forms of physical gold.
From the buyer's perspective, bars have another significant advantage — scalability. The weight range from 1 g to 1 kg allows you to match the purchase to both a modest budget and the building of a larger precious metal position. Every bar with LBMA accreditation is recognised by dealers worldwide, facilitating subsequent valuation and resale.
- Most favourable price-to-weight ratio — particularly at weights from 100 g
- Precisely defined weight and 999.9 fineness with manufacturer certificate
- Wide weight range — from 1 g to 1 kg — to suit different budgets
- International recognition of bars from LBMA Good Delivery refineries
- Simple format — no collector premium, purely precious metal value
Popular gold bar weights — comparison
The table below compares the most frequently chosen weights of gold bullion bars. A practical starting point when comparing formats, production types and the purpose of individual weights.
| Weight | Production type | Fineness | Typical use | Premium over spot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 g | Minted | 999.9 | Gift, starting point, small diversification | High |
| 10 g | Minted | 999.9 | Regular purchases, position building | Moderate |
| 50 g | Minted | 999.9 | Compromise: premium vs. one-off outlay | Moderate |
| 100 g | Minted / cast | 999.9 | Larger position, favourable price ratio | Low |
| 1 kg | Cast | 999.9 | Maximum metal quantity per unit price | Lowest |
The larger the weight, the lower the percentage premium above the gold spot price. At the same time, a higher one-off outlay means less flexibility during partial resale — in such cases it is worth considering complementing your portfolio with gold coins in smaller weight formats.
How much is a gold bar worth and how much does it weigh?
A gold bar's weight matches its denomination: a 1 g bar weighs exactly 1 g of fine gold, a 100 g bar is 100 g, and a 1 kg bar is 1000 g. The most popular weights are 1 g, 5 g, 10 g, 20 g, 50 g, 100 g and 1 kg, plus 1 troy ounce (31.1035 g) in the ounce format.
How much a gold bar is worth depends on the current gold price multiplied by the bar's pure gold weight, plus the market premium. The larger the bar, the lower the percentage premium — so a 100 g or 1 kg bar offers the best value per gram, while a 1 g bar carries the highest premium but the lowest entry threshold. You can read the current price of each weight on its product page, where it updates with the spot price.
Small bars (1 g – 50 g) or large formats (100 g – 1 kg)?
Small gold bars (1 g, 5 g, 10 g, 20 g, 50 g) are a good starting point for regular purchases and building a precious metal position in stages. Their advantage is a low entry threshold and the ability to increase your position gradually. The drawback — a higher percentage premium, which can be significant at weights below 10 g.
Large bars (100 g, 250 g, 500 g, 1 kg) offer the most favourable price-to-weight ratio. A format for buyers who can allocate a larger amount at once and prioritise price efficiency. The trade-off is reduced flexibility — when selling, you must dispose of the entire bar at once.
- 1 g – 10 g — low entry threshold, ideal for starting out and as gifts
- 20 g – 50 g — compromise between premium and one-off outlay
- 100 g – 1 kg — best price ratio, format for larger purchases
LBMA accreditation and manufacturer certificate
Every gold bar in the GoldInvest24 range comes from a refinery with LBMA accreditation (London Bullion Market Association) — the international standard confirming production quality, precious metal fineness and control procedures. Refineries on the Good Delivery list include Argor-Heraeus, PAMP, Valcambi, Umicore and C.Hafner.
Minted bars are supplied in a sealed certipack — a factory-welded card featuring the manufacturer logo, serial number, weight and fineness. The certipack serves as a certificate of authenticity and tamper protection. Cast bars are marked directly on the surface — with an embossed refinery logo, weight, fineness and serial number.
VAT exemption — gold bars in the EU
Under Directive 2006/112/EC, gold that qualifies as investment gold benefits from VAT exemption. In practice, this applies to gold bars with a fineness of at least 995/1000 and a weight accepted on the bullion market. All bars in the GoldInvest24 range meet these requirements.
The tax status is indicated for each product. For matters concerning your individual tax situation, we recommend consulting a tax adviser.
Gold bars or gold coins — format comparison
Bars and coins are two complementary formats of physical gold. Gold bars stand out for simplicity, a wide weight range and the most favourable price ratio — particularly in formats from 100 g. Gold bullion coins offer higher recognition, flexibility during partial resale and legal tender status.
In practice, many buyers combine both formats — bars as the portfolio core, coins as the flexible element. If you would like to compare both segments, check our gold coins category.
Gold bar price — what determines it?
The price of a gold bar derives from several components — current gold quotations on the international market, the USD exchange rate, the manufacturer and dealer margin and the weight. The larger the bar, the lower the percentage premium — which is why 100 g and 1 kg bars offer the most favourable price per gram of fine gold.
It is worth regularly following precious metals prices and gold quotations — this allows for a better assessment of purchase timing and comparison of offers across different weights. With bars, it is essential not only to monitor the spot price but also to compare premiums between manufacturers and formats.

FAQ — Frequently asked questions about gold bars
Is it worth buying gold bars?
Gold bars are among the most efficient ways to buy physical gold. Without a collector premium, you pay primarily for the metal. At larger weights (100 g, 1 kg), the price-to-weight ratio is the most favourable among all available formats. A format for those who prioritise the quantity of precious metal acquired.
How much is a gold bar worth?
How much a gold bar is worth depends on the current gold price, the exchange rate, the manufacturer and dealer premium, and the weight. A 100 g or 1 kg bar has the lowest percentage premium, while a 1 g bar has the highest but the lowest entry threshold. You can read the current value on each product page, where it updates with the spot gold price.
What weight of gold bar should I choose?
It depends on budget and purpose. Bars of 1 g to 10 g are suitable for starting out and as gifts. Weights of 20 g to 50 g offer a compromise between premium and one-off outlay. Bars of 100 g to 1 kg offer the lowest percentage premium but require a larger single expenditure. Many buyers combine different weights in one portfolio.
Are gold bars VAT exempt?
Yes — gold bars with a fineness of at least 995/1000 that qualify as investment gold (Directive 2006/112/EC) are VAT exempt. The tax status is indicated for each product in the GoldInvest24 range.
What is the difference between minted and cast bars?
Minted bars are produced from gold strip, have a smooth finish and are supplied in a certipack with serial number. Cast bars are made by pouring gold into a mould — with a characteristic surface texture, typical for larger weights (250 g, 500 g, 1 kg). Both types have the same 999.9 fineness and are accepted on the international market.
What does LBMA accreditation mean?
The LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) is an international organisation that sets quality standards for precious metals refineries. Refineries on the Good Delivery list have undergone rigorous verification of their production processes and quality controls. Bars from LBMA-accredited producers are recognised and accepted by dealers worldwide.
How to store gold bars?
Gold bars are best stored in a home safe, deposit box or another controlled-access solution. Minted bars should be kept in their original certipack — it protects against scratches and confirms authenticity. It is also important to retain purchase documentation for subsequent valuation and resale.
