A 1/4 troy ounce (oz) gold bar is a popular investment product, valued for its combination of relatively low purchase price and high liquidity.
Physical parameters and purity
• Weight: Exactly 7.775 grams (pure gold weight).
• Assay: Investment gold bars, including those weighing 1/4 ounce, are made of metal with the highest purity of 999.9 (99.99% pure gold).
• Production type: Due to their low weight, these bars are produced by stamping rather than casting. This process guarantees precise dimensions, sharp edges, and aesthetic details such as the manufacturer's logo or engraved inscriptions.
Certification and safety
• CertiCard packaging: Small bars are sold in hermetically sealed protective packaging called CertiPack or CertiCard (blister pack). This packaging also serves as a certificate of authenticity.
• LBMA accreditation: Bars sourced exclusively from refineries with the prestigious LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) certificate, which guarantees their international acceptance and ease of resale.
Investment: A 1/4 ounce bar is the ideal choice for those new to investing in gold. Smaller units are more liquid and easier to cash in, allowing you to sell only a portion of your holdings.
Due to its attractive appearance and universal value, it often serves as a valuable and lasting gift for special occasions such as christenings, communions, or anniversaries.
