Product Description
Invest in physical gold with this 5g Argor-Heraeus Gold Bar, produced from 999.9 fine gold (24 carat) and supplied sealed within its original protective assay packaging.
Argor-Heraeus is a well-established Swiss precious metals refiner, producing investment-grade gold bars for the international bullion market. This compact 5 gram gold bar provides an accessible way to own physical investment gold without purchasing a larger 1oz gold bar.
The assay card confirms the bar's 5g weight and 999.9 gold fineness, while the sealed blister packaging helps protect the bar during handling and storage.
This example is pre-owned, meaning the packaging and bar may display signs consistent with previous ownership or storage. The gold content and weight remain the important factors determining its intrinsic bullion value.

Why Buy a 5g Gold Bar?
A 5 gram gold bar offers a smaller entry point into physical gold compared with larger bullion bars. Its compact size also makes it easier for investors who want to build their holdings gradually or maintain flexibility by owning several smaller bars rather than one larger piece. Compare options in our gold bars by size guide.
Gold bars are typically valued primarily according to their fine gold content and the prevailing gold spot price, together with the applicable dealer premium.
About Argor-Heraeus
Argor-Heraeus is a Swiss precious metals refiner with a long history in the refining and production of investment precious metals. Its gold bars are recognised within the international bullion market and are produced in a range of weights for private and institutional investors.
The assay packaging accompanying this bar identifies its 999.9 fineness and 5g weight.
Is a 5g Gold Bar a Good Investment?
A 5g gold bar provides direct ownership of physical gold in a relatively small denomination. Investors commonly buy physical gold as a long-term store of value, portfolio diversifier or way of holding wealth outside traditional financial assets. Read our beginner's guide to investing in gold.
The value of a 5g bar will fluctuate with the live gold price, exchange rates and market premiums, so its future value is not guaranteed. See our guide to storing gold and silver in the UK.
