Half a kilo
The 500 g bar is a niche size for larger investors who prefer two separate units to a single kilo bar, for selling, inheriting or storing in two places.
Half a kilo of gold takes up roughly the volume of a matchbox, so storage needs little space but careful security. When selling a bar of this size, make an appointment: many dealers pay larger amounts by bank transfer rather than cash, so clarify the process in advance. An intact certificate and the original invoice speed up testing. For comparison, two 250 g bars currently cost 60,353.73 EUR.
Costs
Two 500 g bars cost 120,589.12 EUR, a 1 kg bar 120,234.10 EUR. Dealers buy a 500 g bar back for around 58,460.28 EUR. It contains about 16.08 troy ounces. The extra cost of splitting a kilo into two halves is small at this size.
Buying and storage
Buy bars from LBMA-accredited refiners from established dealers; identification is mandatory. Use a bank safe deposit box or an insured safe. The bar is VAT-free, and gains are tax-free after more than one year (see tax). Prices are indicative.
