About the Baird & Co 2.5g Gold Bar
Baird & Co is a long-established British precious metals refiner and bullion manufacturer with its history dating back to London in 1967.
The front of this 2.5g gold bar features the distinctive Baird & Co branding together with its weight and 999.9 Fine Gold purity.
The reverse carries BairdMint.com, a Union Jack motif and “Minted in England”, highlighting the bar's British manufacture.
The gold bar is sealed within Baird & Co branded packaging, helping protect the bar during storage and handling. For practical advice, see our guide to storing gold and silver in the UK.
Why Buy a 2.5g Gold Bar?
A 2.5 gram gold bar provides a convenient entry point into physical gold ownership without the higher purchase price associated with larger 10g, 20g, 1oz or 100g gold bars. Explore our 5g gold bars or compare with this 1/10 oz Baird & Co gold bar and 10g Baird & Co Lakshmi gold bar.
Smaller gold bars can also give investors additional flexibility when building or selling a physical gold portfolio, as individual smaller bars can be sold separately rather than liquidating a larger holding. You can also compare bars with fractional coins in our Gold Half Sovereign collection and Gold Britannia collection, including this 1/2 oz Gold Britannia.
For customers looking to buy gold in the UK, the 2.5g size provides a useful balance between affordability and physical gold content. See our gold vs silver investment guide to compare precious metals.
Pre-Owned Gold Bar
This is a pre-owned Baird & Co gold bar.
The outer assay card and packaging may therefore show scratches, marks or other signs of previous handling and storage. This is normal for a pre-owned bullion product.
Please refer to the product photographs for the condition of the item supplied.
Is a 2.5g Gold Bar VAT Free in the UK?
Qualifying investment gold is generally VAT exempt in the UK.
With a purity of 999.9 fine gold, this Baird & Co bar exceeds the minimum purity requirement applicable to qualifying investment gold. For a separate guide to UK coin tax treatment, see CGT-free gold coins for UK investors.
