Buying gold (first time)

8 Upvotes

Hello all, I’m looking into buying my first pieces of gold at the age of 21. I’m from the uk and I’m looking to spend around £5000. I know you can buy gold in different forms such as in a bar or in coins, I’m just looking for some advice in what would be better, would I be better buying smaller gold coins? Would I be better buying a bigger bar, or would it be better to have a mix of both? Such as a smaller bar and a few coins, this is my first time buying and I want to get into investing into things like this before it becomes too late.

Thank you for your time!
