Understanding Gold Sizes: From 0.25g to 1kg

Gold comes in many weights. The right size depends on your budget, liquidity needs, and storage options. At Lebanor the range splits into two families: **ounces from 0.25g to 100g**, and **bars from 250g to 1kg**.

Small ounces (0.25g – 10g)

Ideal for first-time buyers and gifts. Lower total cost but a higher premium per gram, since the minting work costs roughly the same whatever the weight. Easy to store at home or in a safe deposit box.

Medium ounces (15.55g – 100g)

Popular with regular savers. This band includes the half ounce (15.55g) and the full troy ounce (31.10g), the most widely quoted unit in the market. Better per-gram value than the smallest sizes while remaining divisible enough for partial sales.

Bars (250g – 1kg)

Best for institutional buyers or long-term holders. Lowest premium per gram, but they require secure storage and larger upfront capital, and they can only be sold whole.

What about silver?

Silver uses a different set of weights. Our silver ounces come in 31.10g and 100g — including the Baalbek, Jeita Grotto and Raouche editions — and silver bars run from 250g to 1kg.
