The Umicore 5 g minted gold bar contains 5 grams of 999.9 fine gold in a compact stamped format. It is the first clear step away from one-gram micro-bars while keeping the total weight small and easy to combine with future purchases.
Who is the 5 g gold bar for?
Five 1 g bars and one 5 g bar contain the same nominal weight. The difference is physical structure. Five smaller bars provide five independent units. One 5 g bar reduces that to a single product and usually spreads production and packaging costs across more gold.
Multiple 5 g bars can also preserve greater divisibility than concentrating the same total weight in one larger product.
Umicore lists its 5 g stamped bar at approximately 24 × 14 mm with a thickness of about 0.9 mm.
About Umicore
Umicore operates across precious-metal refining, recycling and materials technology. Its investment range includes stamped gold bars from small retail weights through 100 g, plus larger cast formats.
Packaging and certification
The 5 g minted bar measures approximately 24 × 14 × 0.9 mm. It shares roughly the same length and width as the 2.5 g version but is thicker to accommodate twice the gold weight.
How the price is determined
The starting point is the market value of 5 grams of gold. A premium is added for refining, stamping, quality control, packaging and distribution.
The relative premium is generally lower than on 1 g bars because those costs are spread over more metal.
