Struck in 999.9 fine (24-carat) gold and sealed in tamper-evident assay packaging, it is the ideal entry point for first-time investors, a popular gift, and a simple way to build a gold holding one gram at a time.

- VAT-free in the UK: Classed as investment-grade gold
- Guaranteed quality: Every bar is backed for its stated weight and purity
