The 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams) gold bar from Umicore is one of the most recognized and respected bars in Europe, thanks to Umicore’s long-standing history, quality, and reliability. Umicore produces globally recognized LBMA gold bars containing 999.9 fine gold (24 carats). The gold bar comes in a protective hard plastic case that also serves as a certificate of authenticity.
A troy ounce weighs 31.103 grams and originated in the Middle Ages in the French trading city of Troyes. This unit of weight is used worldwide to express the gold price and is one of the most traded sizes on the precious metals market.
Umicore is a Belgian precious metals refiner accredited by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and has been listed on the Good Delivery List since 1930. This means the bars can be traded globally without further testing. Known for their consistent quality, Umicore bars are highly valued by investors.
The bar features the Umicore logo, its weight (1 troy ounce), purity (999.9), serial number, and the inscription Feingold — German for “fine gold.” This German term reflects Umicore’s historical roots in German and Belgian mining and metal industries and remains in use because German has traditionally been the trade language in the European precious metals market.
The 1 troy ounce Umicore gold bar is a minted bar, meaning it is struck from a sheet of gold using a precision die. It is a certificate bar: sealed in a hard plastic case similar in size to a bank or credit card, which also serves as the certificate of authenticity. The packaging displays the serial number matching the one engraved on the bar and includes a hologram for verification of authenticity.
Umicore produces its gold bars sustainably in the world’s largest precious metal recycling facility, part of its international recycling division, where metals recovered from electronic waste are refined and reused.
One troy ounce equals 31.103 grams. The name originates from the French city of Troyes, which was an important European trading center during the Middle Ages. This city introduced a standard unit for trading precious metals. Today, the troy ounce remains the most widely used unit for gold and silver. The international gold price is quoted in U.S. dollars per troy ounce, making it the global standard. Note that a troy ounce is not the same as the regular ounce used for everyday goods, which weighs 28.35 grams.
