2 g Gold Bars

Number of products: 3

Two grams is one of the two weights the industry never settled on. Argor-Heraeus, Metalor, C.Hafner and Münze Österreich all make it; Valcambi and PAMP do not. Metalor puts it at 11.5 × 19 mm — a face a little smaller than a postage stamp.

The result is a short list of producers and, in this category, a correspondingly short list of bars: what is here comes from Argor-Heraeus and C.Hafner, including the Kinebar version with its integrated hologram.

How big a 2 g gold bar actually is

Only Metalor publishes a face measurement for this weight, and Metalor bars are not part of this listing — the figure is here purely as a reference for scale. Argor-Heraeus lists the bar in its catalogue without a specification sheet. We would rather show one confirmed figure than four unsourced ones.

Refiner or standard Dimensions Form Packaging
Metalor 11.5 × 19 mm minted blister, six-digit serial number
Argor-Heraeus in the catalogue, dimensions not published minted blister + assay card
Argor-Heraeus Kinebar dimensions not published minted, KINEGRAM hologram blister + assay card

For scale either side of this weight: the 1 g bar is 15.0 × 8.7 × 0.5 mm and the 5 g bar is 23.0 × 14.0 × 0.9 mm, both at Argor-Heraeus.

Two grams or two and a half

The market split this range in two. Argor-Heraeus, C.Hafner, Münze Österreich and Metalor settled on 2 g; Valcambi, PAMP and Umicore settled on 2.5 g instead. Neither weight is available across the whole industry, which is why both categories here are smaller than their neighbours.

In practice the weight and the producer come as a pair: at 2 g the bars on this listing are Argor-Heraeus and C.Hafner, including the Kinebar; the Valcambi, PAMP and Umicore cards exist only at 2.5 g.

What a Kinebar is

Argor-Heraeus is the only refinery in the world licensed to apply the KINEGRAM hologram to precious metal bars. Unlike a printed security feature, the KINEGRAM is worked into the metal surface itself, which is what makes it difficult to reproduce. The Kinebar range runs across most of the weights Argor-Heraeus produces, including this one.

What you actually pay

Two grams of gold at the market price, plus the premium. On small bars the premium is dominated by fabrication rather than metal, so the percentage here sits well above the 10 g level and below the half-gram one. Live prices on our gold price page.

Questions buyers ask about this weight

How much is a 2 g gold bar worth?

Twice the gold price per gram, plus the premium on that bar. At this weight the premium is a significant share of the price because fabrication cost is close to fixed per bar.

How big is a 2 g gold bar?

Metalor publishes 11.5 × 19 mm for the face. Argor-Heraeus lists the weight but does not publish a specification, so we do not quote one for it.

Why do so few refineries make it?

The small-bar market divided: Argor-Heraeus, C.Hafner, Metalor and Münze Österreich chose 2 g, while Valcambi, PAMP and Umicore chose 2.5 g. Neither weight is universal.

What is the Kinebar version?

An Argor-Heraeus bar with a KINEGRAM hologram integrated into the metal rather than printed on the packaging. Argor-Heraeus is the only refinery licensed to apply it.

Do you buy 2 g bars back?

Yes, against the current market price. With only three bars listed at 2 g, resale here turns on the producer stamp and an intact blister rather than on the weight. See the buyback page.
