a 5 gram gold bar to be won in around forty bakeries in France

There will be one winner per bakery in this competition which lasts until January 31. The value of the ingot is estimated between 440 and 460 euros.

Buy a cake and maybe win a 5 gram gold bar. This is what around forty bakeries in France are offering, in partnership with the Comptoir national de l’or which is renewing the operation this year, on the occasion of Epiphany. The value of the 5 gram gold bar is estimated between 440 and 460 euros, depending on the evolution of world gold prices. There will be one winner per bakery in this competition which lasts until January 31.

“To participate, simply go to the partner bakery and purchase a cake”explains the Comptoir national de l’or. Registration can be done by scanning a QR code on the cake bag or on a flyer. At the end of January, a draw will take place to determine the lucky kings and queens of the cake.

This initiative revives a tradition from the 18th century, when gold coins were slipped into the wealthiest families as a bean. Over the past two years, the Comptoir national de l’or has already won an authentic gold coin and this famous 5 gram ingot (23.3 mm long by 14 mm wide). In 2024, the price of gold reached new heights with an impressive increase of more than 30% per ounce of gold and a record reached on October 30 (2,656.60 euros).
