Why is a 1 oz silver bar much bigger than a 1 oz gold bar? And why is platinum even smaller?

In this video, we compare 1 troy ounce silver, gold, and platinum bars side-by-side to reveal the surprising truth about precious metal density. Even though all three bars weigh the exact same amount — 1 troy ounce (31.103 grams) — their physical sizes are dramatically different because each metal has a different density.

Average Density of These Precious Metals:

• Silver: ~10.49 g/cm³
• Gold: ~19.30 g/cm³
• Platinum: ~21.45 g/cm³

How These Metals Rank in Density Among the World’s Metals:

• Platinum is the 3rd densest metal in the world.
• Gold is tied as the 5th densest metal in the world.
• Silver is much less dense by comparison and ranks far below gold and platinum.

The only metals denser than platinum are osmium and iridium — two extremely rare platinum-group metals.

Because silver is far less dense than gold or platinum, a 1 oz silver bar must physically take up more space. Gold is significantly denser, allowing the same weight to fit into a smaller bar. Platinum is even denser than gold, making it one of the smallest common precious metal bars for the same one troy ounce weight.

Approximate Average Sizes for 1 Troy Ounce Bars:

• 1 oz Silver Bar: ~50mm x 29mm x 2.5mm
• 1 oz Gold Bar: ~40mm x 23mm x 1.8mm
• 1 oz Platinum Bar: ~32mm x 18mm x 1.7mm

We also weigh each precious metal bar on camera to show how assay cards and packaging can slightly increase the displayed total weight.
