Not all 20 gram gold bars are equal. Security features, resale recognition, and IRA custodian acceptance vary by refiner. Here's what you're actually getting with each brand we carry. Compare our full range of gold bars at BOLD for more size options.
The benchmark for resale liquidity. The Lady Fortuna design is the most recognized gold bar motif in the world — accepted by dealers across six continents without a second glance. Struck to .9999 fine, individually serial-numbered, sealed in a CertiCard assay package with a holographic security overlay. If resale speed is your primary concern, PAMP is the safest choice in this size.
Shop PAMP Suisse Gold BarsThe world's largest gold refinery by output. Their Combibar is a 20 gram bar pre-scored into 20 individual 1-gram segments you can break apart by hand — no tools, no dealer required. Sell, gift, or deploy gold in 1-gram increments without liquidating the whole bar. The only 20 gram format where your exit options multiply as your needs change.
Shop Valcambi Gold BarsProcesses gold for central banks and sovereign mints. Their Kinebar carries a proprietary RGB color-shift hologram on the reverse — cycling through green, yellow, and red as you tilt the bar. One of the most advanced passive anti-counterfeiting measures in the market. If authentication is a priority — especially for IRA buyers where custody chain matters — the Kinebar is worth the marginal premium.
Shop Argor-Heraeus Gold BarsRefined by Valcambi and carrying the CS brand alongside an individual assayer's mark — a dual-authentication setup with two of Switzerland's most respected names on every bar. Among the most widely transacted gold bars in North American secondary markets. Existing CS inventory remains fully valid, fully liquid, and fully IRA-eligible following the 2023 UBS acquisition.
Shop Credit Suisse Gold BarsThe only government-backed refiner offering 20 gram bars in our catalog — operating under the guarantee of the Western Australian Government. Struck to .9999 fine, featuring the Perth Mint swan assay mark and kangaroo design. Exceptional resale recognition in Asia-Pacific markets. If you're holding gold with an eye toward international liquidity or want sovereign government backing, Perth Mint is the bar.
Shop Perth Mint Gold BarsAll five refiners BOLD carries are LBMA Good Delivery certified and IRA-eligible. The differences that matter are security features, resale recognition by market, and exit flexibility.
| Brand | Purity | Security Feature | Assay Card | IRA Eligible | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PAMP Suisse Lady Fortuna | .9999 | Holographic CertiCard overlay | Yes | Yes | Fastest resale liquidity |
| Valcambi Combibar | .9999 | Divisible into 20 × 1g segments | Yes | Yes | Maximum flexibility & incremental exit |
| Argor-Heraeus Kinebar | .9999 | RGB-shift hologram (proprietary) | Yes | Yes | Anti-counterfeiting, IRA custody |
| Credit Suisse | .9999 | Dual assayer's mark (CS + Valcambi) | Yes | Yes | North American secondary market |
| Perth Mint | .9999 | Government-guaranteed assay | Yes | Yes | Asia-Pacific liquidity, sovereign backing |
All bars carry individual serial numbers and arrive in original tamper-evident assay packaging. Premiums vary by brand and current market demand.
The price of a 20 gram gold bar is calculated as: current gold spot price × 0.643 (troy oz equivalent) + refiner premium. That premium runs 3%–6% over spot for standard bars and 7%–10% for specialty formats like the Kinebar and Combibar, which carry added manufacturing cost from their security and divisibility features.
When comparing prices across dealers, always calculate the premium percentage — not the raw dollar figure. A $20 premium over spot when gold is at $3,000/oz is a 1.04% markup. The same $20 premium when gold trades at $1,800/oz is a 1.74% markup. Context changes the math significantly, and most buyers don't run that number before clicking buy.
Stack Strategically
20 gram bars carry lower per-transaction costs than 1-gram or 5-gram bars when buying the same total gold weight. If you're planning to accumulate 100 grams over multiple purchases, five 20 gram bar transactions will cost you meaningfully less in total premium than twenty 5-gram bar transactions from the same refiner. See how premiums compare across sizes in our 1 oz gold bars and 10 oz gold bars pages.

How BOLD Authenticates Every Bar
Every bar passes through a documented inspection process at our climate-controlled vault before shipping. That process includes:
Bars that don't pass are pulled from inventory — not discounted, not rerouted.
Are 20g Gold Bars IRA-Eligible?
Yes. All 20 gram gold bars BOLD carries meet IRS requirements for inclusion in a self-directed Gold IRA:

For most buyers: PAMP Suisse Lady Fortuna
PAMP is the gold standard for liquidity. Every dealer in the world recognizes the Lady Fortuna design. You will never struggle to sell a PAMP bar. If you're building a position that you want to exit cleanly and quickly when the time comes, PAMP is the answer.
For maximum optionality: Valcambi Combibar
Being able to break off 1-gram segments is a real-world advantage — not a novelty. Useful for gifting, incremental liquidation during price spikes, and scenarios where selling a full bar isn't practical. No other format at this size gives you that. If you want optionality built into the bar itself, the Combibar is the play.
For IRA buyers or counterfeiting concerns: Argor-Heraeus Kinebar
The RGB hologram is genuinely difficult to replicate and adds a verifiable security layer beyond serial numbers alone. Worth the additional premium if chain of custody matters to your custodian or you want the most defensible authentication story.
For North American resale: Credit Suisse
The right call if you're buying for the North American secondary market and want dual-name Swiss authentication on every bar. Existing pre-acquisition inventory remains fully valid and liquid — in many cases these have become collector's items for long-term holders.
For international liquidity or sovereign backing: Perth Mint
The only government-guaranteed refiner in this size. My recommendation for buyers holding gold with an eye toward Asia-Pacific resale or who simply want a government's name behind their purchase. Whatever you choose, you're buying vault-inspected, fully insured gold from BOLD — authenticated before it ships, guaranteed on delivery.
The price is calculated as: current gold spot price × 0.643 (troy ounces) plus the refiner premium, which typically runs 3%–10% depending on the brand and format. BOLD displays live spot-linked pricing — refresh the page for the current price. No call required to see actual inventory pricing.
The Valcambi Combibar is a 20 gram gold bar pre-scored into 20 individual 1-gram segments. You can physically break off individual 1-gram pieces by hand — no tools required. Each segment carries its own purity mark. It's the only 20 gram bar format that lets you sell, gift, or deploy gold in 1-gram increments without selling the whole bar.
PAMP Suisse Lady Fortuna bars are the most universally recognized and accepted in secondary markets worldwide. Credit Suisse is a close second for North American dealers. Perth Mint leads in Asia-Pacific resale recognition. All five brands BOLD carries are accepted by major dealers without discount for brand.
A 1 oz gold bar weighs 31.1 grams — approximately 55% more gold than a 20 gram bar. The 20 gram format carries a slightly higher per-ounce premium than a 1 oz bar but requires significantly less capital per purchase. For buyers building a gold position incrementally, 20 gram bars are a practical alternative. See our full range of 1 oz gold bars to compare.
Yes. All 20 gram gold bars from refiners BOLD carries meet IRS purity and refiner certification requirements for Gold IRA inclusion. BOLD sources exclusively from LBMA Good Delivery List refiners. Contact our IRA team for custodian referrals and rollover coordination.
Every bar BOLD ships has been visually inspected, weight-verified, and assay-card-matched at our vault before packaging. All bars arrive in original tamper-evident assay packaging. Assay card serial numbers can be verified directly with the refiner. Never buy 20 gram bars outside sealed assay packaging — it's the primary counterfeit risk indicator.
