One Ounce Gold

What Is One Ounce Gold?

Precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum are measured in troy ounces (t/oz). The troy weights system back dates to 1400’s, introduced within the medieval British coinage system. The abbreviated term oz is commonly used within the gold trade across the globe and the price for gold is displayed either as troy ounces or per gram / grams.

So, what is troy ounce in grams? To be precise a one ounce (or one troy ounce) contains a minimum 31.1035 grams of (.9999 fine gold) 24 carat of pure gold. If you were looking at a 1 kilo bar of gold it would have 32.15 troy ounces approx.

Pure gold is referred as 24 carat / 24k / 24 ct. The term carat for gold should not be confused with the same term used for diamonds and gemstones. When Carat is used for gold or other precious metals it defines the Fineness of the metal, when the term Carat is used for diamonds or gemstones it generally refers to their weight.

How many grams in an ounce of gold?

Gold bars or gold ingots are typically cast in a rectangular shape, while gold coins tend to be round. It’s the same amount of metal by weight and purity with just different shapes for both products- they also come in 24 carat gold purity. The only difference is that you pay more per troy ounce when buying a coin than if your purchase was an identical bar because they have varying premiums depending on their size and design.

Below we’ll break down how many grams are contained in one ounce of pure gold bullion:

Gold bar: 31.103 grams

Gold coin (round): 31.104 grams

If you want to buy your gold by weight, it’s the same gram for both an ounce bar and a coin because they have identical purity standards. The only difference is that coins are sold at higher premiums due to their more decorative appearance and limited mintage quantities but this does not affect the amount of metal in each ounce or its value. Gold Coins like 1oz Gold Britannia’s and Gold Sovereigns in the UK are a great investment because they’re CGT free. Regular investors will be able to invest without having any of their profits taxed.

Gold is a valuable precious metal that has been being found as tiny granules and made into gold bricks, gold rectangles or even ingots for investment.
