How much is a 1g gold bar worth today?
The value of a 1g gold bar is directly tied to the live spot price of gold. Gold is priced in troy ounces on the international markets, but since a 1 gram bar is a small fraction of a troy ounce (there are 31.1 grams in a troy ounce), its value is calculated proportionally. As of 3rd July 2026, the spot value of 1g of gold is £100.61, and Gold Traders will pay £92.55 for a 1g gold bar. Both figures update in real time on this page.
What affects the price of a 1g gold bar?
The value of your 1g gold bar is influenced by several factors. The international gold spot price, driven by supply and demand, inflation, currency movements, and geopolitical events, is the primary driver. The purity of the bar also matters, as most investment-grade bullion bars are .999 fine, meaning they contain 99.9% pure gold. The brand and mint can affect buyback value too, with bars from PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, and The Royal Mint being the most widely recognised and easiest to sell.
How do I sell my 1g gold bar?
Selling your 1g gold bar at Gold Traders is straightforward. Simply use the quote tool at the top of this page to see today's price, then either visit one of our branches for an instant cash payment, or send it to us using our insured postal service. We accept 1g bars in any condition, with or without their original assay card or packaging (though having the original cert can be useful). If you're looking to buy a 1g gold bar rather than sell, we stock the Royal Mint 1g Britannia gold bar as well as pre-owned 1g gold bars at the best value prices.
Is a 1g gold bar a good investment?
A 1g gold bar is an excellent entry point into gold ownership. The premium per gram is higher than larger bars due to the costs of refining and producing smaller units, but it's one of the most accessible and liquid forms of physical gold you can own. If you're looking to sell a 1g gold bar and get the best price, Gold Traders currently pays £92.55, based on today's live market price.
