Compare 250g Bullion Prices
Compare live prices on 250g bullion bars from trusted UK dealers. 250g is a mid-to-large bar weight that delivers most of the premium efficiency of larger formats while remaining a more accessible single-purchase value than 500g or 1kg.
Where 250g sits
For investors who find 1kg too large a single position but want better premium efficiency than 100g offers, 250g represents a measured step up. Premiums per gram are typically tighter than 100g but slightly wider than 500g — a logical staging point for growing a bullion holding without committing the full capital required for a 1kg bar in a single trade.
What's available
Metalor is the primary supplier of 250g cast bars to the UK market in both metals. Cast bars are produced by pouring molten metal into moulds rather than minting, which keeps production costs — and therefore premiums — lower than for minted bars of equivalent weight.
UK tax position
Investment gold 250g bars at 995 fineness or higher are VAT-exempt under HMRC rules. Silver 250g bars are subject to 20% VAT. No bar weight qualifies for UK capital gains tax exemption — only UK legal tender coins do.
