The Argor-Heraeus 100 g cast gold bar contains 100 grams of 999.9 fine gold in one substantial physical unit. Its closest comparison is the minted 100 g version, which carries the same nominal weight but is produced using a different manufacturing process.
Who is the 100 g cast bar for?
At 100 g, the main decision is no longer simply about weight. A cast and a minted 100 g bar can contain the same nominal amount and purity of gold. What changes is the way the product is made and presented.
Cast bars may show less uniform surfaces and edges because of the casting process. This does not mean lower purity.
A single 100 g bar reduces the number of physical products but offers less divisibility than holding the same total weight in separate smaller bars. The cast format therefore concentrates the full 100 g into one substantial physical unit.

Packaging and certification
The 100 g cast bar measures approximately 45.0 × 24.0 × 5.6 mm. Its thicker profile and cast construction clearly distinguish it from the flatter 100 g minted version.
How the price is determined
The main component is the market value of 100 grams of gold. A premium is added for refining, casting, inspection, handling and distribution.
Cast and minted 100 g bars can carry different premiums because their production methods differ.
