Gold Bars & Bullion in Islamabad — ARY and Simba

Gold bar prices in Islamabad — how they are worked out

There is no separate price list to go stale. Each figure is calculated the moment the page loads:

Gold value = the bar's own rate per tola × its weight in tola.
You pay = gold value + the packing charge for that brand and weight.

Two rates are in play, because that is how bars actually trade here. Bars from 1 gram up to 100 grams — including half tola, 1 tola, 2 tola, 1 ounce and 5 tola — are priced on the small bar rate. The 10 tola bar is priced on its own 10 tola rate, which is lower per tola, and it carries no packing charge from either mint. Both are shown at the top of this page.

A tola is 11.664 grams, so a 10 gram bar is 10 ÷ 11.664 = 0.857 tola of gold, plus packing. Change either rate at the counter and every affected bar on the site changes with it, in the same second.

Packaging and verification

Verification features vary by brand and size. Simba smaller bars are packaged with a tamper / void indication and carry a unique serial number and a QR code. ARY Millat small bars are sealed with a tamper / void indication, but carry no individual serial number and no QR code — the packaging is what you inspect. Do not accept packaging that has been opened, tampered with, or whose tamper / void indication has been triggered. Both 10 tola bars are supplied unpacked, with a unique serial number and a QR code.

Serial numbers and QR codes are verification methods where provided; a QR code alone does not prove a bar is genuine, and should be checked through the manufacturer's own system. See the bar verification page.

Prices for individual weights

Each of these has its own page with the price worked out and the packing charge shown separately: 1 tola · half tola · 10 gram · 5 tola · 100 gram · 10 tola, the piece. Raw gold is priced separately — see Rawa / Pathoor.

Gold bar verification by brand and size

Packaging and verification features vary by brand and size, and it is worth knowing which applies before you buy:

Serial numbers and QR codes are verification methods where provided; a QR code by itself does not prove a bar is genuine, and should be checked through the manufacturer's own system. On packaged bars, do not accept packaging that has been opened, tampered with, or whose tamper / void indication has been triggered. Full detail on the bar verification page.

Packing charges in full

The packing charge is a one-off rupee amount for the mint's sealed card. It is added once when you buy, and it is never deducted when you sell the bar back to us.

Choosing a weight

The smallest bars — 1 g, 2.5 g, 5 g and half tola — are bought as gifts and as a first purchase; the packing charge is a larger share of the cost, so the price per gram is highest. The 1 tola bar, what many customers still call a gold biscuit or sona bar, is the most common size in Pakistan and the easiest to resell to anyone. From 50 g upward the packing charge stops mattering much, and the 10 tola bar carries none at all and sits on the lower 10 tola rate, which makes it the most efficient way to hold gold if you are buying that quantity in one go.
