The Argor-Heraeus 50 g minted gold bar contains 50 grams of 999.9 fine gold and represents exactly half of a 100 g position. It reduces the number of physical products compared with smaller bars while preserving more flexibility than one 100 g bar.
Who is the 50 g gold bar for?
There are several ways to build 100 g. You can hold ten 10 g bars, two 50 g bars or one 100 g bar. The total nominal weight can be identical, but the level of divisibility changes sharply.
Two 50 g bars create two independent halves. One 100 g bar concentrates the full weight into one product. Ten 10 g bars offer even greater flexibility, but require more packaging and storage space.
The 50 g format therefore sits between fine divisibility and maximum concentration.
About Argor-Heraeus
Argor-Heraeus has refined precious metals in Mendrisio, Switzerland, since 1951. Its refinery is included in the LBMA Good Delivery system.
The company became part of Heraeus Group in 2017.
Packaging and certification
The 50 g minted bar measures approximately 49.7 × 28.5 × 2.0 mm. Argor-Heraeus supplies its minted gold bars in protective blister packaging with certification information. Keeping the original packaging intact helps protect the bar and preserve its identifying information.
How the price is determined
The base value reflects 50 grams of gold at the current market rate. A product premium is added for refining, minting, packaging, control and distribution.
Per gram, the relative premium is usually lower than on much smaller bars.
