1 kg gold bars – the highest investment weight
The 1 kg gold bar is one kilogram of fine gold — the highest standard weight in bullion trading and the top of the product hierarchy. It is at the kilo that the premium reaches its absolute market minimum: 1.2–2.5% above spot. For comparison, a 100 g bar carries a 2–4% premium and a 10 g bar 6–11%. At a kilo, practically the entire amount paid corresponds to the value of the pure gold — production and packaging costs spread over 1000 grams are negligible.
The entry threshold of around 621,000–629,000 PLN (April 2026) places the kilo bar in the purely institutional segment. It is a weight bought by metal banks, investment funds and very high-net-worth buyers who prioritise minimising transaction cost and compact storage of large value. One kilo bar replaces ten 100 g bars at a lower total premium.

- Wholesale standard: the kilo is the unit of account of the gold wholesale market.
1 kg or two 500 g bars?
The kilo bar carries the marginally lower premium (1.2–2.5% versus 1.5–3% for 500 g) — at a value of around 600,000 PLN, even 0.3–0.5 percentage points means a four-figure saving. Two 500 g bars, however, offer more flexibility: they can be sold separately and are easier to liquidate on the retail market. For long-term consolidation, 1 kg wins on cost; for liquidity management, two 500 g bars.
