Understanding 1kg gold bars
The 1kg (1000g) gold bar is the largest standard investment size and the most cost-efficient way to buy physical gold. Containing 32.15 troy ounces of 999.9 fine gold, a single 1kg bar offers the lowest premium per gram in the range — the preferred choice for high-net-worth investors and those making a substantial allocation to gold.
Key features of 1kg gold bars:
- High purity: Cast or minted in 999.9 fine (24-carat) gold
- VAT-free in the UK: Classed as investment-grade gold
- Guaranteed quality: Every bar is backed for its stated weight and purity
- Lowest premium per gram in the range
- Individually numbered for full traceability.
About the refiners
Our 1kg gold bars are produced by two of the world’s most respected LBMA Good Delivery refiners: Valcambi and Argor-Heraeus, both based in Switzerland and renowned for precision craftsmanship and competitive premiums. Each bar’s authenticity and purity are fully guaranteed.
Design and features
1kg gold bars are produced as both cast bars, poured into a mould for a distinctive texture and the lowest premium, and minted bars, precision-struck for a polished finish and sealed in tamper-evident assay packaging. Every bar carries the refiner’s hallmark, the 1000g weight stamp, 999.9 fineness mark, and a unique serial number for full traceability.
