When you buy gold bars, you are investing in an investment product. The price of a gold bar is based on the current gold price and fluctuates continuously. After purchase, the value of your gold may rise or fall. Gold bars are available in various weights and price ranges. At Holland Gold, you can buy gold bars ranging from 1 gram up to 1 kilogram.
Below are the key points to consider when buying gold bars:
If you wish to invest in gold bars, it is essential to choose bars that are LBMA certified and have Good Delivery status. These gold bars meet the highest international quality and purity standards and are recognized and traded worldwide. At Holland Gold, we exclusively sell gold bars that meet these strict criteria.
Gold bars are available in a wide range of weights and prices. Determine in advance how much you wish to invest and then select the weight that fits within your budget. At Holland Gold, you can buy gold bars in the following weights: 0.5 gram, 1 gram, 2.5 grams, 5 grams, 10 grams, 20 grams, 50 grams, 100 grams, 250 grams, 500 grams, 1 kilogram, and upon request, 12.5 kilograms.
When buying gold bars, always pay attention to the price per gram of gold. In general, the larger the gold bar, the lower the price per gram, making your purchase more cost-effective.
Before purchasing gold bars, it is wise to consider your selling strategy. If you buy one large gold bar, you will have only one selling moment. By purchasing several smaller gold bars, you create multiple selling opportunities, giving you greater flexibility when selling your gold. When you buy gold through the Holland Gold App, you decide exactly how much gold you buy and sell and are not tied to a specific bar or coin format.
The reliability of the seller is a crucial factor when buying gold bars. Always choose a specialized and trustworthy precious metals dealer. With more than 100,000 customers, Holland Gold is the largest precious metals dealer in the Netherlands and Belgium. We stand for transparent pricing with no hidden costs and offer expert, personal advice.
You are always welcome to visit one of our offices for a personal consultation, or you can contact us by phone. You can also read our customer reviews to learn about the experiences of other clients.
Holland Gold offers a buyback guarantee on all precious metals we sell. This means you can always sell your gold bars back to us, ensuring maximum liquidity and peace of mind.
The storage of gold bars is also an important consideration. You may choose to store your gold bars at home or make use of professional storage facilities. If you opt for home storage, discretion is essential, and it is important to keep your gold in a secure location.
Through Holland Gold, you can also choose to have your gold bars stored on an insured basis. We facilitate professional precious metals storage in the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Singapore. All vault locations meet the highest security standards. You can withdraw your gold bars from storage or sell them at any time. When selling directly from the vault, the proceeds are credited to your bank account on the same day, and the Holland Gold App provides you with real-time insight into your portfolio.
As soon as you purchase a gold bar, the price is fixed immediately. Any changes in the gold price that occur after your order has been completed will no longer affect the price of the gold bar you have purchased. You are therefore fully guaranteed the price at which you ordered the gold bar, regardless of whether the gold price rises or falls after your purchase.
A gold bar is a solid piece of refined gold with a very high level of purity, primarily used as an investment product and a store of value. Gold bars are available in various weights and formats and can be produced using different methods.
Larger gold bars, also known as gold ingots, are produced by pouring molten gold into molds. Smaller gold bars are usually minted or stamped from gold sheets. The standard gold bar held by central banks as a gold reserve is the 400 troy ounce bar, weighing approximately 12.4 kilograms. This type of gold bar is generally less suitable for private investors.
For this reason, gold bars are also available in smaller units such as 1 kilogram, 250 grams, 100 grams, 10 grams, and even 1 gram. Troy ounce gold bars are also common. Well-known

The cost of a gold bar changes continuously because the price is directly linked to the current gold price. This gold price fluctuates constantly on the international market, which means the price of a gold bar can rise or fall by the minute. In addition to the gold price, the final price of a gold bar is influenced by several other factors.
Production costs vary by type of gold bar and by manufacturer. Cast and minted gold bars use different production methods, which affects the price.
Gold bars are available in various weights. In general, the larger the gold bar, the lower the price per gram of gold. Smaller gold bars have relatively higher costs per gram.
The purity of a gold bar plays an important role in its price. Investment gold typically has a minimum purity of 99.99% and is therefore valued higher than gold with a lower level of purity.
You can find all current prices of gold bars in different weights and from various manufacturers on this page. When you purchase a gold bar from Holland Gold, the price is fixed immediately. This means you are always guaranteed the agreed purchase price, regardless of any subsequent fluctuations in the gold price.
All gold bars sold by Holland Gold carry internationally recognized certification, namely LBMA accreditation and Good Delivery status. As a result, the gold bars you purchase from Holland Gold are always delivered with a certificate of authenticity and a unique serial number. This ensures that you, as a buyer, receive gold bars of the highest quality that are recognized and tradable worldwide.
If the brand of a gold bar is not listed among LBMA-certified gold producers, it is advisable not to purchase it, as the purity and tradability are not guaranteed by an independent external organization.
Buying gold bars from Holland Gold is also attractive because investment gold is exempt from VAT under tax regulations. To qualify, the gold bar must meet two conditions. First, the gold bar must be produced in a standard weight. Second, the purity of the gold bar must be at least 995/1,000 or 99.5%. The gold bars traded by Holland Gold meet both requirements and therefore qualify as investment gold, making them exempt from VAT.

After placing your sell order, we can arrange for your gold to be collected safely and fully insured, you may deliver it to one of our offices, or you can sell your gold directly from storage.
In general, the greater the weight, the lower the relative premium.
Bars and coins come in a variety of sizes and weights. But that doesn't mean you should buy the heaviest bar you can afford, because...
When buying the bar or coin, you should also think about how you want to sell it again and what you want to use it for. Large bars (or coins) are less divisible. When you sell a large bar, you liquidate a significant investment. It is more practical to sell small bars or coins and the exact amount gold or silver for the exact amount of euros you need. Smaller coins and bars are therefore practical as a means of exchange and payment and as part of an emergency kit. The CombiBar is a good example where, for a relatively small additional cost, a bar can be made into fractions that are very useful as a means of payment in unforeseen times.
Yes, all gold bars come with a certificate of authenticity. This certificate is not a separate document but is either part of the packaging or enclosed within it.
For smaller bars and all bars from C.Hafner, the certificate is integrated into a hard, sealed plastic case. Larger bars from Umicore and Argor-Heraeus include a printed certificate within a soft, sealed wrapper. Some certificates also feature security or holographic elements to further ensure authenticity. The details on the certificate always match those stamped on the bar itself.
Holland Gold exclusively sells gold bars produced by LBMA-accredited (London Bullion Market Association) refiners. The Good Delivery status is an internationally recognized standard that sets strict requirements for production, weight, and purity. This ensures that LBMA-approved gold bars can be traded globally without additional verification.
Each LBMA gold bar contains the following information:

Cast gold bars are the result of a simple and authentic production process in which molten gold is poured into a pre-shaped mold. Because the mold is removed after the gold has solidified, these gold bars often have a rougher and less detailed appearance.
The basic principle of pouring gold into a mold is the same for every producer, but the final result differs per refinery. Differences can occur in mold type, cooling speed, pouring temperature, and finishing process. As a result, the surface can vary from smooth and shiny to matte and grainy, giving each cast gold bar its own unique appearance.
A cast gold bar is, depending on the producer, supplied in a soft plastic packaging containing the certificate (Umicore, Argor-Heraeus) or in a sealed package that also serves as a certificate (C. Hafner).
In addition to cast gold bars, you can also choose minted gold bars. Read more about the production process of the minted gold bar and about the differences between minted and cast gold bars.
The first thing to look at when you want to buy gold is that you can also do it easily again sell. It is important that the precious metal can be traded worldwide with high quality, purity and liquidity, or investment grade. When buying bars, many investors therefore look at LBMA-accredited bars and for coins, sovereign coins, which means they are produced by a government currency.
Exclusively gold-and Silver bars of accredited refineries that meet Good Delivery standards are acceptable in the settlement of a 'Loco London' contract. On the Loco London Market, precious metals are traded directly between two parties, without the intervention of an exchange. This system relies on the fact that all bars have exactly the same specifications.
The Good Delivery bars, or LBMA certified bars, are the standard in the market. Holland Gold sells LBMA bars exclusively for producers such as C.Hafner, Valcambi and Umicore. Central banks and institutional investors also buy only Good Delivery bars.
During consultations, we are often asked whether you would be better off Gold bars or Gold Coins can buy. It doesn't really matter much, since gold is just gold at the end of the day. Investment gold is exempt from VAT and, unlike silver, you won't be able to make any mistakes with this.
When purchasing your precious metal, it is important that you take into account the production costs and other premiums that are passed on in the price. For gold, the greater the gold weight, the more advantageous the premium. Large bars are cheaper per gram than smaller bars. This also applies to the well-known gold investment coins.
