Which gold bar size should you buy?
The right gold bar size is a trade-off between flexibility and cost. Smaller bars are easier to afford, give as gifts and sell back a little at a time, but they carry a higher premium per gram. Larger bars cost less per gram over spot but tie up more money in a single piece.
If you want to start small without paying the small-bar premium forever, the Premium Curve lowers the premium on your splits and small bars as your grams add up, and lets you convert to a sealed 50g bar at spot. The live table below shows the cost per gram at every size we sell.

S$ 209.76What sizes can I buy?
On the Premium Curve: individual 1g splits and whole bars up to 1oz (5g and 10g today). Beyond that, sealed 50g and 100g Combibars — plus standard bars such as the PAMP Multigram. With 1+1Gold MAG you can also buy gold in 1-gram steps as your share of a larger bar that stays in our vault. Everything is 999.9 fine.
What is the premium, and why is it higher on smaller pieces?
The premium is what you pay above the live spot price. It covers refining, minting, assay packaging and handling — costs that are much the same whether a bar weighs 1 gram or 100 grams, so per gram they weigh more on a smaller piece. That is why a 1g bar carries a higher premium than a 50g or 100g bar from the same refiner. We sell two ways: standard bars from LBMA-accredited refiners such as PAMP, priced by weight; and the Premium Curve, where the premium on your splits and small bars falls as your accumulated grams grow toward 50g. Every premium is published on our pricing page, so you can see exactly where your size sits.
What is the Combibar, and what does 1+1 mean?
A Combibar is a single sealed, hallmarked gold bar (from Valcambi) that is scored so it can be broken into individual 1-gram pieces. It lets you start small, accumulate gram by gram, and still hold real, dividable gold.
What does splitting, or converting to a 50g bar, mean?
As you buy along the Premium Curve, your grams accumulate. When you reach 50g, you can convert to a sealed 50g bar at spot price with no penalty, then start accumulating toward the next one.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum — you can start with a single gram.
