The 500 gram gold bar from Umicore offers a cost-effective way to invest in gold. Due to its higher weight, the production costs per gram are lower, resulting in a more attractive price per gram.
The Umicore gold bar is one of the most recognized and respected gold bars in Europe, thanks to the Belgian refiner’s long history and proven quality and reliability. Each bar contains 999.9 fine gold (24 carats) and is LBMA-certified. Every bar is sealed in protective packaging with a certificate of authenticity.
Umicore has been listed on the London Bullion Market Association’s (LBMA) Good Delivery List since 1930, meaning its gold bars can be traded globally without additional testing.
When investing in gold, it is wise to consider not only the purchase but also the future resale. Buying a single large bar means it can only be sold in full. Choosing several smaller bars of 100 or 250 grams gives you more flexibility to sell in parts whenever it suits you best.
The bar features the Umicore logo, its weight (500 grams), 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.
This casted bar is sealed in soft plastic packaging together with the certificate of authenticity. The certificate displays the serial number corresponding to the one engraved on the bar.
Umicore produces two types of gold bars: casted and minted. This 500 gram bar is the casted version, meaning it is produced by pouring molten gold into a mold. There is no minted version available for this weight. We supply Umicore gold bars ranging from 1 gram up to 1 kilogram.
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.
Would you like to sell your gold bars in the future? Holland Gold offers a buyback guarantee for all gold bars purchased from us. Even if your bars were not originally bought from Holland Gold, we will buy them back at competitive prices.
