The Metalor 100g Gold Bar contains 100g of 999.9 fine gold from Metalor, one of Switzerland’s longest-established refiners. It is VAT-exempt as investment gold in the UK.

About the Metalor 100g 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.

Minted and cast bars

Minted bars are pressed from a rolled sheet and have sharp edges and a polished face. Cast bars are poured into a mould, leaving a matte surface and slight variations from bar to bar. Both contain the same gold; the choice is about appearance and, occasionally, a small difference in premium.

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 100g Gold Bar?

The 100g bar is one of the most popular gold bars in the UK: enough gold to matter, at a premium close to the larger sizes.

It is a practical single unit for a substantial purchase, and it remains small enough to sell whole without difficulty.

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.
