Minted bars
Clean lines, a crisp strike

The back of this small bar is plain.
Heimerle + Meule
A house from Pforzheim
Recovering and refining precious metal has been at the heart of the house since its founding. Today it recovers gold and silver from jewellery, coins, dental gold alloys, silverware and silver-plated cutlery, as well as from industrial residues.

On 3 June the LBMA, the association of the London precious metals market, admits Heimerle + Meule to its Good Delivery List for gold, the register of accredited refiners.
LBMA
What the London list means
The LBMA’s Good Delivery List names the refiners whose bars may be delivered into the London market.
It refers to large bars: for gold between 350 and 430 fine ounces, about 10.9 to 13.4 kilograms. Smaller bars do not count in London wholesale trading, so a bar of 1 g is not a Good Delivery bar.

Compact investment gold from Pforzheim: the 1-gram bar from Heimerle + Meule
- Crisis protection: Especially small gold bars are excellently suited as a means of payment and exchange in times of crisis.
- Investment goal: With gold bars, you can effectively protect your wealth against inflation.
- Value preservation: Gold bars serve as the perfect store of value, securing and preserving the real value of your wealth.
- Hedging: Especially in times of inflation, recession and high government debt, you can hedge your wealth with gold.
With the 1g gold bar from Heimerle + Meule, you bring genuine gold into your home in its most compact form. The design featuring the founder and the year 1845 is the personal touch – but the real substance is the fine gold. Its value is based primarily on the precious metal it contains and moves in line with the gold price. This is exactly what makes this small bar a fully-fledged investment gold product, not merely a decorative piece.
Highest purity from Germany's oldest refinery
Heimerle + Meule has been manufacturing precious metal products in Pforzheim, the traditional gold city, since 1845 – as Germany's oldest gold and silver refinery. The bar bears the clear markings "HEIMERLE + MEULE", "FINE GOLD" and the fineness 999.9. It is minted, Brilliant Uncirculated (BU), and delivered in a protective coin pouch. Because the company is listed on the LBMA Good Delivery List, its bars enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide and can be easily resold around the globe. This international tradability is a real advantage for a gram bar: it is recognized everywhere and remains liquid at all times.
Why small denominations are so popular
Small denominations in gold and silver are among the most popular building blocks for crisis protection. A 1-gram bar fits in any wallet and can easily be carried while traveling without attracting attention – whether for emergencies at home or abroad. In uncertain times, divisibility matters: those who spread their wealth across many small units remain flexible and can exchange exactly the amount needed when required. Gold is accepted worldwide as a means of exchange and has never had a value of zero.
Security that has endured for millennia
As an inflation hedge and for lasting value preservation, physical gold has proven itself for over 6,000 years. It is the oldest currency in the world, a scarce commodity with limited supply – while fiat money can be printed at will, the amount of gold remains finite. It is no coincidence that central banks themselves hold enormous gold reserves. Compared to gold coins, a minted bar like this one usually carries a low premium over the pure material value, making it an efficient entry point into physical gold investment.
Build your wealth gram by gram: many small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable value.
The 1-gram bar is the ideal starting point for anyone who wants to start small and purchase regularly. It also makes a safe choice as a gift: giving this for a christening, birthday or Christmas is never a small gesture, but genuine investment gold – an asset whose value tracks the gold price. An additional advantage: profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. In this way, crisis preparedness, inflation hedge, and long-term value preservation come together in a single, tangible gram of fine gold.
