250 Gram Gold Bars
A 250 gram gold bar hits a sweet spot for serious buyers: meaningfully lower premiums than small bars or coins, yet far easier to sell piece-by-piece than a kilo. At roughly ≈8.04 troy ounces, these bars are compact, stackable, and commonly produced in .9999 fine gold by LBMA-accredited refiners. You’ll find both minted (carded/assay) and classic cast “pour” styles—minted bars look sharp in sealed cards, while cast bars carry that old-world, rugged bullion feel and often cost a touch less.
Why choose 250 g?
This size balances efficiency and flexibility: premiums usually undercut 1 oz pieces, and when it’s time to liquidate, a single 250 g bar is much simpler to move than a kilo. Many buyers also like the handling experience—heft without bulk—and the tidy footprint in a home safe or depository box.
Expect recognizable names like PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, Argor-Heraeus, The Royal Mint, Perth Mint, and Asahi. Most minted bars arrive sealed with an assay card, printed weight/purity, and unique serial number; some add anti-counterfeit tech (e.g., microtext, surface mapping, or kine-holograms). Cast bars are typically plastic-wrapped with matching certificates or stamped serials.
