5 Gram Gold Bar
The 5 Gram Gold Bar is a compact and efficient form of physical gold ownership, offering more weight than micro-denominations like 1g or 2.5g bars, while maintaining easy portability and lower premiums than larger bullion pieces. Produced by leading private mints and refineries such as PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, and the Royal Canadian Mint, these bars are trusted worldwide for their high purity, quality assurance, and secure packaging. Ideal for building a fractional gold collection or as a gift, 5g bars blend affordability with refined presentation.
Key Features:
Purity: Most 5 gram gold bars are struck from 99.99% pure gold (24 karats), providing 0.1607 troy ounces of fine gold content. This level of purity meets globally recognized bullion standards for gold bars and ensures the bar's value is derived entirely from its gold content.
Design: Designs vary depending on the manufacturer, but most bars feature stamped inscriptions of the refinery’s name or logo, the weight, purity, and a unique serial number. Popular options include PAMP Suisse’s Lady Fortuna, Valcambi’s minimalist orange assay card format, and other refinery-specific artwork. Bars are typically sealed in tamper-evident packaging with a matching assay certificate.
Denomination: Gold bars do not carry a legal face value, as they are not issued as legal tender. Their value is determined entirely by their gold content and the market price of gold, along with a small premium that reflects mint reputation and production costs.
Dimensions: While exact sizing may differ slightly between mints, most 5 gram gold bars measure approximately 23 mm to 25 mm in length, 13 mm to 15 mm in width, and 0.8 mm to 1.1 mm in thickness. These bars are typically housed in credit card–sized assay packaging that verifies their weight and fineness.
Compact, elegant, and highly portable, the 5 Gram Gold Bar is a trusted choice for gold buyers seeking fractional ownership, flexibility, or a convenient format for gifting and private storage.
