The Argor-Heraeus 2 g minted gold bar contains 2 grams of 999.9 fine gold and sits between the 1 g and 5 g formats. It doubles the amount of gold in each unit without requiring a move directly to 5 grams.
Who is the 2 g gold bar for?
Compared with 1 g bars, the 2 g format reduces the number of separate products and packages needed to hold the same total weight. It also preserves greater divisibility than concentrating the full amount in a larger bar. Five separate 2 g products can be handled independently, while one 10 g product stays intact.
The premium per gram will usually be lower than on 1 g because manufacturing and packaging costs are spread over twice as much gold.
