Holland Gold's 1 troy ounce bars are minted bars. They are made from gold sheet, then precisely stamped and finished. This generally gives them a regular, smooth appearance.
Cast bars are less common at 1 troy ounce. To learn how these production methods differ, read our FAQ on the difference between a minted and a cast gold bar.
The price of a 1 troy ounce bar consists of the current value of about 31.1 grams of gold plus a premium. The premium covers production, processing and trading costs, among others.
As 1 troy ounce is an internationally common weight, its price is easy to compare with gold prices quoted worldwide in troy ounces. The final selling price can vary by brand and version, even for equal gold weight.
A 1 troy ounce bar may have a relatively favorable premium per gram compared with smaller bars. Compare the premium and price per gram as well as the total purchase price. Follow the underlying gold value on our current gold price page.
Holland Gold offers 1 troy ounce bars from several internationally recognized refineries, including Umicore, C. Hafner and Argor Heraeus.
You can choose, for example, a 1 troy ounce bar from Umicore, C. Hafner or Argor Heraeus. Available brands and versions depend on current stock.
These refineries are internationally known and follow strict quality standards. Your choice can therefore focus on price, version, packaging and preference for a particular producer.
A 1 troy ounce bar is appealing because this is among the best-known and most widely used weights in the gold market. Investors recognize it and can readily compare it with other gold products.
Even if you ultimately want 100 grams, dividing your purchase among several 1 troy ounce bars may make sense. It leaves more flexibility for a later sale, because you do not have to sell your whole gold position.
If you want around 31.1 grams and expect to sell the entire bar at once, 1 troy ounce can also be a logical choice. Its premium per gram is generally below that of smaller bars because production and trading costs are spread over more gold.

Yes. Holland Gold's 1 troy ounce bars have a purity of 999.9, or 99.99% fine gold. Fine gold is almost entirely gold, with very little other metal. A fineness of 999.9 corresponds to 24 carats and is the highest common purity for investment gold.
Gold bars and many familiar gold bullion coins come in 1 troy ounce sizes. With the same fine weight, they contain the same amount of gold, but their forms differ. A bar is valued chiefly by weight and purity. A coin also has a coin design and often a face value. Many bullion coins are legal tender in their country of issue.
The better choice depends on your preference and how you want to hold physical gold. Read more about the difference between gold coins and gold bars.
