The Valcambi 1 oz minted gold bar contains approximately 31.1035 g of 999.9 fine gold in one troy-ounce format. It offers a different way to structure a gold holding than combining metric bars such as 20 g and 10 g.
Why choose a 1 oz gold bar?
A one-ounce bar is useful when the buyer wants to use the same unit commonly applied across the global gold market.
Compare it with a 20 g bar plus a 10 g bar. That metric combination gives exactly 30 g in two independent products. One troy ounce gives approximately 31.1035 g in one product.
The difference is not only about roughly 1.1 g of additional gold. The structure changes as well. With 20 g + 10 g, each bar can be handled separately. With one ounce, the entire position sits inside one standardised unit.
This makes the ounce easy to recognise internationally, while the metric combination provides greater physical divisibility.

How the price is determined
The main component is the market value of one troy ounce of gold. The final product price also includes a premium for refining, minting, quality control, packaging and distribution.
Larger formats usually spread these costs over more gold than micro-bars.
