The IGR Metals 5 gram gold bar is a compact, precisely refined bullion bar produced by Istanbul Gold Refinery, one of Turkey's most recognized LBMA-accredited gold refineries. Struck in .9999 fine gold and weighing 5 grams (approximately 0.16075 troy ounces), this bar ships sealed inside an assay card that confirms its weight, purity, and refinery origin. It occupies a practical middle ground in the gold bar market, offering more metal than a 1 gram bar while remaining accessible to buyers who are not yet ready to commit to a full troy ounce.
We carry this bar in its original carded packaging, which preserves condition and allows for straightforward identification at every stage of ownership. The assay card format is widely recognized in the retail bullion market and is particularly common among buyers who prefer documented, self-authenticating packaging directly from the refinery.

We carry this bar in its original carded packaging, which preserves condition and allows for straightforward identification at every stage of ownership. The assay card format is widely recognized in the retail bullion market and is particularly common among buyers who prefer documented, self-authenticating packaging directly from the refinery.
Istanbul Gold Refinery, operating under the IGR brand, was established in Istanbul and has grown into one of the most prominent gold refineries in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The refinery holds accreditation from the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), which places it among a select group of global facilities recognized for meeting the highest standards in gold refining. LBMA accreditation is not easily obtained and requires ongoing compliance with strict assaying, production, and quality protocols.
IGR entered the international retail bullion market by producing small-denomination gold bars in a range of gram weights, targeting buyers in markets where fractional gold ownership is common. The 5 gram format has been one of the refinery's consistent offerings, appealing to buyers across Europe, the Middle East, and increasingly North America. The carded assay format, which seals the bar alongside a certificate from the refinery, became a signature packaging approach that distinguishes IGR products from many competitors in the gram-bar category.
The IGR 5 gram gold bar carries a clean, professional design consistent with the refinery's broader product line. The obverse face of the bar displays the IGR Metals branding alongside the refinery's logo, with stamped text confirming the bar's weight (5g), fineness (.9999), and serial number. The reverse is typically smooth or features subtle branding elements depending on the production batch.
The bar itself has a flat, rectangular profile with crisp edges and a polished surface that reflects the precision associated with LBMA-accredited production. When sealed inside the assay card, the bar is visible through a transparent window, allowing buyers to inspect it without breaking the seal. The card itself displays the refinery's authentication details, assay information, and a unique serial number that ties the card directly to the individual bar it contains.
At 5 grams, this bar sits firmly within the fractional gold category, making it a practical option for buyers who want direct gold exposure without committing to the cost of a full troy ounce. The price point is lower than larger bars, which lowers the barrier for buyers who are building a position gradually or who want to diversify across multiple products rather than concentrating in a single large piece.
The compact format is also well-suited for gifting, as the carded assay packaging presents well and provides the recipient with immediate proof of the bar's specifications. Fractional gold bars in assay cards have become one of the more popular formats in this respect, combining a tangible, verifiable product with presentation that requires no additional packaging or explanation.
IGR's LBMA accreditation is the most significant marker of production integrity for this bar. The LBMA Good Delivery standard, while technically applied to large bars, underpins the refinery's overall commitment to accurate assaying and precise metal content. Each bar is stamped with its own serial number, which corresponds directly to the assay card it ships with, creating a traceable link between the physical bar and its documented specifications.
The sealed assay card packaging is itself a form of authentication. A card that arrives intact, with the bar seated properly and the seal unbroken, indicates the product has not been tampered with since leaving the refinery. We verify every product for authenticity, weight, and purity before it reaches our customers, and our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC reflect the broader authentication standards we maintain across our catalog.
This bar is sold in new condition, sealed inside its original IGR Metals assay card. The assay card packaging protects the bar from handling marks and environmental exposure while keeping refinery documentation intact. Because the bar arrives sealed, buyers receive it in factory-fresh condition without requiring any additional protective storage at the point of purchase.
Individual bars ship in their assay cards. For buyers purchasing multiple units, bars are typically grouped in multiples of their carded format, and larger quantities may ship in a sealed box depending on order size. Because this is a raw bullion bar sourced from secondary market channels in some cases, minor contact marks or light surface toning may be present on bars removed from their original sealed packaging, though this does not affect the metal content or the bar's recognized purity in any way.
The price of this bar is tied directly to the spot price of gold, with a premium added above that base price to account for refining costs, assay card packaging, distribution, and the convenience of the fractional format. Small gram bars consistently carry higher per-ounce premiums than larger bars due to the fixed costs involved in producing, certifying, and packaging each individual unit regardless of its weight.
IGR's LBMA accreditation contributes positively to the bar's market positioning, as buyers and dealers alike recognize the refinery's standing within the international gold market. Our pricing reflects real-time spot conditions and is structured to be transparent, so buyers can clearly see what they are paying above spot and make decisions accordingly.
Gold bars from LBMA-accredited refineries are widely recognized across the wholesale and retail bullion markets, and the IGR brand is particularly well-known in dealer networks that handle international product. The assay card format supports resale because the bar's specifications are documented and the serial number provides a clear chain of custody. Buyers and dealers are generally more confident purchasing carded bars than loose, uncarded equivalents.
We operate a two-way market that supports both buying and selling, so customers can transact on both sides without needing to locate a separate dealer at the point of sale. Understanding the bid side of the market before making a purchase is something we actively encourage, and our platform is designed to make that information readily available.
The combination of LBMA-accredited refinery production, .9999 fine gold content, and sealed assay card packaging makes this bar a strong choice for buyers who want verifiable, documented gold in a fractional size. The 5 gram format hits a practical sweet spot, offering more metal than a 1 gram bar while keeping the total cost well below larger denominations. For buyers building a position incrementally, this format allows for flexibility without sacrificing product quality or recognizability.
The IGR assay card is also one of the more presentation-ready formats in the gram bar category, which broadens its appeal beyond pure accumulation. Buyers looking for a verifiable, compact gold product that ships with its own authentication documentation will find this bar well-suited to that purpose.
We built this platform around the belief that buying and selling precious metals should be transparent, efficient, and free from the pressure tactics that have historically made this industry difficult to navigate. Our pricing reflects real-time market conditions, our buyback program means customers have a clear path to selling when the time comes, and our product authentication standards ensure that what you receive matches what you ordered.
We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain active membership in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association. Every product we carry is verified before it ships. We source from reputable refineries and distributors, and our authorized dealer relationships with PCGS and NGC reflect the authentication standards we apply across our entire catalog. Customer support is accessible and knowledgeable, and our fulfillment process is designed to be reliable from the point of purchase through delivery.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across our catalog, including fractional gold bars like this one. Because small-denomination bars tend to carry higher per-ounce premiums than larger formats, understanding where current pricing falls relative to historical norms can be genuinely useful. Pro members can evaluate premium percentile rankings, bid/ask spread data, and liquidity metrics to assess whether current market conditions align with their buying objectives.
Portfolio valuation through Pro uses live wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, giving members a more accurate picture of current liquidation value across their holdings. For buyers accumulating fractional gold across multiple products and denominations, this kind of real-time, data-driven view provides meaningful context that static product listings alone cannot offer.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make the purchasing process straightforward and secure. Customers can pay using major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, as well as PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency via BitPay. Each option is integrated into a secure transaction environment designed to protect your financial information at every step. Whether you prefer traditional payment methods or digital alternatives, we have a solution that fits how you prefer to transact.
