1 Gram Gold Bar

The 1 Gram Gold Bar is one of the smallest and most affordable forms of physical gold available, making it an accessible choice for first-time buyers, gift givers, and collectors seeking fractional gold ownership. Produced by many of the world’s most trusted refiners—including PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, and the Royal Canadian Mint—these miniature bars are globally recognized for their high purity, secure packaging, and elegant presentation. Despite its small size, the 1 gram gold bar represents a tangible and tradable store of value in a universally accepted format.

Key Features:

  • Purity: Most 1 gram gold bars are struck from 99.99% pure gold (24 karats), providing exactly 0.03215 troy ounces of fine gold. This level of purity meets international bullion standards and ensures that the value of each bar is fully derived from its gold content.

  • Design: While designs vary by manufacturer, common features include the bar’s weight, purity, refinery logo, and a unique serial number. Popular examples include PAMP Suisse’s “Lady Fortuna” and Valcambi’s minimalist logo and assay card presentation. Each bar is typically sealed in tamper-evident packaging that certifies its authenticity and specifications.

  • Denomination: Gold bars, including the 1 gram size, are not issued with a face value and are not considered legal currency. Because their value is based solely on their gold content, and the issuing refinery’s reputation, these bars trade as bullion rather than legal tender.

  • Dimensions: While exact dimensions vary by refiner, most 1 gram gold bars measure approximately 14 mm to 16 mm in length, 8 mm to 9 mm in width, and 0.5 mm to 0.7 mm in thickness. These bars are typically encased in credit card–sized assay packaging that enhances presentation and protects the gold.

Tiny yet trusted, the 1 Gram Gold Bar offers a highly portable and universally recognized format for adding physical gold to a personal collection, gifting, or building fractional gold holdings.

How Big Is a 1G Gold Bar?

A 1G Gold Bar is very compact. It’s typically around 14-16 mm long, 8-9 mm wide, and less than 1mm thick. In practical terms, think of this gold bar as roughly the size of a small fingernail. To protect them for their owners, they are typically kept sealed inside a credit-card-sized assay card, making them easy to carry, store, and gift.
