Crisis protection to take with you: I-CLIP AdvantageR Black with 2.5 g gold bar

• Crisis protection: Small gold bars in particular are ideally suited as a means of payment or barter in times of crisis – here your reserve sits right in your wallet. Find out more in our crisis protection packages.
• Investment goal: With the 2.5 g gold bar, you protect your wealth remarkably effectively against creeping currency devaluation.
• Preservation of value: Fine gold is a store of value par excellence – it preserves the actual purchasing power of your savings across generations.
• Hedging: Recession, spiraling government debt, political unrest? With gold, you place your wealth on a foundation that has held firm for thousands of years.

A wallet that can do far more than just hold cards. This set combines two products that at first glance don't seem to belong together – yet form a perfect unit in everyday life: the slim wallet I-CLIP AdvantageR Black and a minted 2.5 g bar made of 999.9 fine gold by Heimerle + Meule. The gold sits securely under the money clip, invisible to outsiders, always available to you.

Why small denominations are the key to crisis protection

Anyone who takes provisioning seriously thinks in terms of divisibility. A kilo bar is a magnificent piece of metal – but no one cuts it up to pay for groceries, fuel, or a night's accommodation. That's exactly why small denominations in gold and silver are so popular among those planning ahead: they enable manageable-sized trades, both at home and abroad. 2.5 grams of fine gold represent a handy, globally recognized value – and can be discreetly carried along in your wallet while traveling.

Gold is humanity's oldest currency. It has survived every paper money experiment, has never been worth zero, and is accepted as a means of payment around the globe.

The 2.5 g bar from Heimerle + Meule – the details

• Fine weight: 2.5 g, gross weight also 2.5 g
• Fineness: 999.9/1,000 fine gold

The combination of minting quality and origin makes this bar a product valued equally by investors and collectors. Bars "Made in Germany" from a house with 180 years of experience enjoy high acceptance in the trade worldwide and can accordingly be converted back into cash with ease.

I-CLIP AdvantageR Black: design meets precious metal

The I-CLIP is manufactured in Germany. Its frame is made from the specially developed high-performance plastic ROBUTENSE, with a covering of vegetable-tanned genuine leather featuring a distinctive perforated pattern – a look inspired by the seats of luxurious limousines. It holds up to twelve cards, plus banknotes secured under the clip by a press stud. With dimensions of around 8.8 × 6.5 × 1.6 cm, it disappears into any trouser pocket.

Your 2.5 g bar takes its place inside without standing out. Secure, discreet, instantly accessible – this is exactly how an emergency reserve should be: one you actually carry with you every day instead of forgetting in a drawer.

Inflation hedge and tax advantages

The inflation hedge is the strongest argument for physical gold: while fiat money can be expanded at will by central banks, the supply of gold is naturally limited. It is no coincidence that central banks themselves hold the world's largest gold reserves. On top of that: investment gold is exempt from VAT in Germany, and profits from its sale are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.

Comparison: 2.5 g, 1 g, or larger units?

A 1 g bar is even more finely divisible, but demands a higher premium per gram. Larger units from 10 or 20 grams upward are cheaper per gram, but impractical in the event of a trade. The 2.5 g bar strikes the middle ground – compact enough for a wallet, substantial enough to move real value. Whether as a lasting gift or as a building block of long-term retirement provision, this set cuts an excellent figure either way.

Included in the bundle: 1 × I-CLIP AdvantageR Black for 2.5 g bars and 1 × 2.5 g gold bar by Heimerle and Meule for the I-CLIP.
