A 100 gram gold bar is a popular choice for investors looking to invest a larger amount in physical gold. Its higher weight generally means a lower premium per gram than smaller bars. This makes it suitable for holding wealth in gold at a lower cost.
Holland Gold sells 100 gram gold bars from internationally recognized refineries, including Umicore, C. Hafner, Argor Heraeus and Valcambi. Depending on the producer, you can choose minted or cast bars. All bars come from LBMA-accredited refineries and have a purity of 999.9/1000. See our current range of gold bars for available producers, stock and prices.
A 100 gram gold bar contains 100 grams of fine gold with a purity of 999.9/1000. This weight suits investors looking to hold a substantial amount in physical gold while limiting purchase costs per gram.
With larger gold bars, production and processing costs are spread over more grams of gold. The premium per gram on a 100 gram bar is therefore lower than on smaller bars. For example, buying one 100 gram bar costs less in premiums than buying five separate 20 gram bars.
Holland Gold stocks bars from several internationally recognized producers. The C. Hafner 100 gram gold bar comes from a German refinery and is one of our best-selling versions. The Umicore 100 gram gold bar originates in Belgium and is particularly well known in the Netherlands and Belgium.
We also sell the Swiss Argor Heraeus 100 gram gold bar, made by one of the world’s best-known refineries. The Valcambi 100 gram gold bar is also produced in Switzerland by an internationally renowned refinery.
Can I store a 100 gram gold bar easily?
A 100 gram gold bar is relatively compact and easy to store at home, for example in a safe. Exact dimensions vary by producer and version. The minted C. Hafner 100 gram gold bar measures just 55.2 × 30.1 × 3.5 mm. Despite its small size, a 100 gram bar has considerable value. Choosing a secure storage location is therefore important.
Prefer not to store your gold at home? Holland Gold Safe provides secure, professional storage for your bars. Storage is fully insured at current market value. This means your gold remains insured for its higher value if the gold price rises.
The 100 gram bars from C. Hafner, Umicore and Argor Heraeus can be stored with Holland Gold in the Netherlands. The Valcambi 100 x 1 gram CombiBar also qualifies. The standard Valcambi 100 gram gold bar is available only with insured storage outside the European Union, in Switzerland.
Depending on the producer, 100 gram gold bars come in minted and cast versions. The production method generally makes no difference to the investment’s value. The main differences are how the bar is made and finished.
A minted gold bar is cut from a gold sheet and then stamped. This produces a smooth surface and precisely finished edges. It comes in a sealed blister pack with an integrated certificate.
A cast gold bar is made by pouring molten gold into a mold. Once cooled, the weight, purity and refinery logo are applied. Cast bars usually have a more rugged appearance and generally come in a plastic sleeve with a separate certificate.
At Holland Gold, the range includes the Umicore 100 gram gold bar - casted and the C. Hafner 100 gram gold bar - casted.
The production method does not affect the gold value. Both versions contain the same amount of gold and are readily tradable. Your choice mainly depends on appearance, packaging and price. Read our FAQ on the difference between minted and cast gold bars.
When buying 100 grams of gold, you can choose one solid bar or a Valcambi CombiBar made up of 100 individual 1 gram bars.
A standard 100 gram gold bar generally has a lower premium per gram. Producing the gold as one piece keeps production costs relatively low. This makes a standard bar attractive if you plan to hold the gold long term and keep purchase costs down.
A CombiBar offers more flexibility. Its individual segments can be separated along break lines. You can sell or give away part of your gold without disposing of all 100 grams. This flexibility comes with a higher premium because making separate segments costs more.
If you want to divide your gold into smaller amounts, the Valcambi CombiBar 100 x 1 gram gold bar may suit you better. Both products contain 100 grams of gold in total but differ in flexibility and premium.
The price of a 100 gram gold bar consists of its current gold value plus a premium. The gold value follows the international spot price, which changes continuously with developments in the gold market.
The premium covers costs including production, packaging, transport and trading. It varies by refinery and version. Brand recognition, current availability and market conditions can also affect it. The intrinsic gold value remains the same for bars of equal weight and purity.
When comparing gold bars, consider both the total purchase price and the premium above the gold value.
You can track the current gold price on our gold price page. Individual product pages show current selling prices for the different 100 gram bars.
Want to sell your 100 gram gold bar later? Holland Gold buys back gold bars and provides a buyback guarantee for bars purchased from us. We also accept bars originally bought from other dealers.
The buyback price depends on the current gold price and applicable purchase terms. As the gold price changes continuously, the resale value may be higher or lower than your original purchase price.
You can place a sell order on our website and lock in the quoted buyback price. You then transfer the bar to us using the specified procedure.
See our current buyback prices and how to sell your bars on our sell to us page.
As its name suggests, a 100 gram gold bar contains exactly 100 grams of fine gold. Less obvious is how compact it is. Gold’s high density means 100 grams takes up relatively little space. Dimensions vary by producer and version. A minted bar is generally flatter and longer, while a cast bar is often shorter and thicker. Both contain the same amount of gold and fit easily in a safe or professional precious metals storage.
The value of a 100 gram gold bar depends on the current international gold price. Its purchase price is always slightly above spot value due to the product premium. When buying back 100 gram bars from LBMA-accredited refineries, Holland Gold pays the same price below spot, regardless of producer. The brand does not affect intrinsic gold value if weight and purity match. It is therefore always cheaper to buy the lowest-priced 100 gram bar from an LBMA-accredited refinery. See our current gold price.
A bar from an LBMA-accredited refinery is made by a company meeting the quality standards of the London Bullion Market Association. These refineries appear on the international Good Delivery List and are recognized in the professional gold market. This matters to investors because the origin and quality of their gold are internationally identifiable. It supports liquidity, although buyers may perform additional checks when purchasing the bar.
Holland Gold’s 100 gram bars have a purity of 999.9/1000. This means they contain 99.99% gold. A purity of exactly 100% is technically almost impossible. A purity of 999.9 is therefore considered one of the highest standards for physical investment gold. You can identify it by the 999.9 marking, usually shown on the bar alongside its weight and the refinery logo.
Holland Gold sells 100 gram gold bars from internationally recognized producers such as Umicore, C. Hafner, Argor Heraeus and Valcambi. Each refinery has its own design, packaging and production methods. The brand does not affect gold content if weight and purity match. Prices may differ due to production costs and brand recognition. Which versions are ready for immediate delivery depends on current stock and availability.
Yes, all 100 gram gold bars sold by Holland Gold are exempt from VAT. In the Netherlands, only bars meeting the statutory conditions for investment gold qualify for this exemption. These include a minimum gold purity of 995/1000. Holland Gold’s 100 gram bars have a purity of 999.9/1000 and therefore qualify. Read more in our FAQ on tax and VAT when buying and owning gold.
