Gold is priced by the ounce. A 50 pound block would be 600 ounces and would cost 600 times the one ounce price. (The reason it's 600 oz. is because gold -- and all precious metals -- are measured in Troy ounces, which are twelve to the pound.)

The current value of a gold bar depends on its weight, purity, and the live spot price of gold, which fluctuates daily based on market conditions.

It depends on the size of the bar and on the current price of gold. Right now gold is around $1600/oz so a one ounce bar would be worth $1600.
A gold bar must meet the standard conditions of manufacture, labeling, and record keeping. A gold bar is then measured by the scale of troy ounces to determine its value.
A properly stamped 1 gram gold bar is useful as a long term, tangible investment. The value depends on the reputation of the bar's source, the current market value of gold, and the fineness of the gold bar (i.e., 0.9999 is more fine and pure than 0.9995). A hallmarked bar from Credit Suisse is worth more than a bar from some lesser known assayer. To find the minimum base value, get the current value for a troy ounce from a place like Kitco, and divide by 31.1034768. I hope this helps someone.
Weight in oz of bar x current market value per oz
The value of the bar depends on the purity and weight. It needs to be taken to a silver & gold buyer for an assessment of value.
A 1 ounce gold bar is worth $1449.73 USD. The world's largest gold bar weights 551lbs (250kg), it was manufactured by Mitsubishi Material Cooperation in 2005, it has a value of $3,684,000 USD.
Gold's worth in monitary value, is dependent upon the stocks of the country that have gold. If companies lose money, gold value decreases, so be a smart invester.

To calculate the volume of the gold bar, we first need the density of gold. The density of gold is approximately 19,320 kg/m^3. Using this value, we can calculate the volume of the gold bar by dividing the mass of the bar (25 kg) by the density of gold. This would give us the volume of the gold bar in cubic meters.
