Umicore Gold, 1 g
Gold is never lost,it is passed on.
The cycle
Gold is practically indestructible.
Around 222,600 tonnes of gold had been mined by mid-2026, the World Gold Council estimates.
Put together, it would make a cube with sides of around 22.6 metres.
The refinery
In Hoboken near Antwerp, on the Scheldt
- tonnes a year

Umicore describes the task of its refinery like this: giving precious metals a new life and putting them back into the cycle.
Electronic scrap and spent catalysts arrive here, as well as by-products of the non-ferrous metals industry and by-products from mining.
The way back
How this becomes pure gold
- The sampleEvery material gets its own sampling procedure. The sample and its analysis decide what is credited to the supplier.
- The molten bathOxygen-rich air and fuel flow into the molten bath through a submerged lance. Copper, lead and nickel act as collectors, taking up the precious metals.
- The separationThen the copper is leached out, and the precious metals remain in a residue. The refinery purifies it further, by classic cupellation and by processes of its own.
- Fine goldAt the end there is gold as granules of 99.99 per cent and in large trading bars of 12.5 kilograms.
Umicore writes that the metal in its bars comes mostly from this recovery, alongside other sources.
The refinery in Hoboken is on the LBMA’s Good Delivery List for gold and silver. Sales of the bars are run by Umicore Precious Metals Management in Hanau.

1 Gram Gold Bar by Umicore in Blister Card – Genuine Investment Gold with a Personal Touch
- Investment goal: With gold bars, you protect your wealth remarkably effectively against the creeping devaluation of money.
- Value preservation: This bar is a reliable store of value that preserves the real value of your savings and strengthens it over the years.
- Hedging: Especially during periods of inflation, recession, and high national debt, you can safeguard your wealth with gold.
- Crisis protection: Small units are excellently suited as a divisible means of payment and exchange for crisis protection.
The 1g gold bar by Umicore is the smallest, and at the same time the most accessible, entry point into physical gold investment. What matters is the substance: 1 gram of pure fine gold, whose value is based on the gold price. The festive blister design merely gives the bar its personal touch – what you are buying is an asset, not mere decoration.
Fine Gold 999.9 from a Traditional Belgian Foundry
Umicore is one of Europe's most renowned precious metals producers, with a history spanning over a hundred years. The minted bar carries exactly 1 gram of fine gold with a fineness of 999.9/1,000 and is delivered in brand-new, Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The obverse bears the distinctive Umicore logo, the lettering umicore, and the inscription "1g FEINGOLD 999.9"; the reverse remains plain. With dimensions of approximately 15.0 × 8.5 × 0.5 mm – and thus a very slim thickness – the handy small bar fits into any wallet.
As an LBMA-certified manufacturer, Umicore produces gold according to the Good Delivery standard and also manufactures silver, platinum, and palladium. The company sources much of its gold from its own recycling operations – verified quality that is recognized worldwide and can be traded again at any time.
Investment Gold in a Festive Blister Card
The bar is sealed in a transparent capsule, embedded in a blister card featuring a deep blue starry sky and a golden ribbon. This design combines the serious character of an investment bar with an appealing presentation.
- Building wealth in small steps: Multiple 1-gram bars add up over the years to a sizeable gold reserve.
- High liquidity: The price is based solely on the gold price – not on collector demand – and can easily be converted back into cash.
- Diversification: Physical gold complements your asset structure and serves as a store of value when trust in fiat money wanes.
Compared to larger denominations, the premium over the pure metal value is proportionally higher for a 1-gram bar; however, you remain maximally flexible: you buy exactly the amount that fits your budget and can sell off your holdings again in finely dosed increments at any time.
Give the Gift of a Genuine Gold Investment
For a christening, birthday, wedding, or Christmas, with this bar you are not giving a fleeting item but full-fledged investment gold. Despite the personal occasion, you are acquiring minted fine gold whose value is tied to the gold price – a foundation that can be passed down through generations.
Gold is the world's oldest currency – a proven store of value for over 6,000 years, which has never lost its intrinsic value and protects you from the loss of purchasing power.
Those who regularly purchase small amounts are practicing tangible inflation hedging and are building, step by step, a crisis-proof reserve – with a precious metal that is recognized worldwide as a means of payment and exchange.
