Gold Bar 1 kg

oroBarVariousInvestment gold — VAT exempt

Description

The 1 kilogram gold bar is the large investment format with the lowest premium over spot. It contains 32.15 troy ounces of pure gold and its price usually exceeds €70,000 / ~$75,000 USD (variable depending on the spot price). The trade-off is lower liquidity than smaller formats: not all dealers can absorb a 1 kg sale immediately, and the buyer pool is smaller.

Key highlights

  • Minimum premium over spot — the most cost-efficient format
  • Contains 32.15 troy ounces (1,000 g of fine gold)
  • Institutional format — also used by central banks in the 12.4 kg (400 oz) version
  • Limited liquidity: selling may take longer than smaller formats
  • Requires professional storage or safe deposit box due to its high value
