What is 1 troy ounce of gold?

A troy ounce is an international unit of weight used specifically for precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum. It is also expressed as '1 oz of gold'. One troy ounce of gold is equal to 31.1035 grams of gold (rounded to 31.1 grams). This is not the same as one ounce of gold (28.35 grams).

At GoldRepublic, you invest in physical gold that is 99.99% pure (24 carat). All gold comes from recognised LBMA-certified smelters such as Umicore and Valcambi. When you purchase 1 troy ounce through GoldRepublic, you become a co-owner of a larger gold bar, for example a 1-kilogram bar.

Because the gold is stored immediately after production, we know exactly where it is located, which refinery it comes from and that its quality has never been compromised.

Storage of your 1 troy ounce of gold

At GoldRepublic, we consciously choose external storage for your investment gold. This allows for independent confirmation that your gold is actually there and ensures complete separation between your assets and GoldRepublic. Yes, external storage is slightly more expensive. But when it comes to physical gold, security is more important than cost savings.
