About the Metalor 1kg Gold Bar

Metalor has refined precious metals in Switzerland since 1852 and is among the best-known names in the bar market. Its accreditation by the London Bullion Market Association means its bars are accepted on the same terms as any other professional-market metal, wherever you come to sell.

This bar is supplied in assay packaging showing its weight, fineness and serial number, so its provenance can be checked at a glance.

The kilo bar in the market

The kilo bar is a standard trading unit worldwide and the size most often held in professional vaults. Its premium is the lowest of any format, which is why buyers making a single large purchase usually choose it over several smaller bars.

Assay packaging and serial numbers

The assay card is part of the product, not just packaging. It ties the serial number stamped on the bar to a sealed certificate, which is what lets a dealer accept the bar quickly. A bar removed from its card can still be sold, but expect it to be tested first.

Why buy a Metalor 1kg Gold Bar?

The kilo bar is the largest we stock and typically carries one of the lower premiums per gram in the gold-bar range.

Cast bars are hand-poured, which gives each one a slightly different surface texture. That is normal and does not affect the gold content.

Why buy gold bars?

Gold bars can be a cost-efficient way to buy gold by weight. Because there is no design work or annual issue behind them, the premium over the metal price is lower than on coins, and it falls as the bar gets larger. Bars from LBMA-accredited refiners with an intact assay card and serial number are widely recognised by established bullion dealers. In the UK they are VAT-exempt as investment gold.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a cast bar not perfectly smooth?

Cast bars are poured into a mould rather than pressed, so each has a unique surface. Collectors and investors value the honesty of that finish.

How much is a kilo of gold in ounces?

About 32.15 troy ounces.
