About the 5 g gold bar

Minted bars of this size usually come sealed in an assay card showing their weight, fineness and serial number, which protects the surface and makes the bar easy to verify when you sell.

Small gold bars are a simple way to start buying gold or to add to a holding regularly. Gold is valued by weight and purity, so a bar of 999.9 fine gold is priced the same way anywhere in the world. The main difference between sizes is the premium, which falls as the bar gets larger.

Buying and paying

A 5 g gold bar is priced live from the gold spot price plus a stated premium of 9%, in any of six currencies. At checkout your price is locked for 10 minutes while you confirm your order. You then pay by bank transfer (UK Faster Payments, SEPA or SWIFT), quoting your order number. Any VAT for your delivery country is shown before you order.

Frequently asked questions

How much gold is in a 5 g bar?

Five grams of 999.9 fine gold, which is about 0.161 troy ounces.

5 g bar or 1/10 oz coin: which should I choose?

The 5 g bar holds more gold (5 g against 3.11 g) and usually costs less per gram, because bars are simpler to make than coins. A coin is legal tender and carries a mint's design, which some buyers prefer.

Should I keep my bar in its assay card?

Yes. The sealed card protects the surface and shows the bar's details, so a dealer can check it quickly when you sell. Opening it doesn't change the gold content, but it can make resale slower.

Can I sell it back to you later?

Yes. We buy bars like this back at 97% of the live spot value of their fine metal content, with no fees. Request a quote on our Sell to us page, and we pay by bank transfer once we have received and checked the item.
