I-Clip AdvantageR Black with 1g Bar Heimerle + Meule

I-CLIP AdvantageR Black with 1 g Gold Bar from Heimerle + Meule: Value That Travels With You

• Crisis protection: Small gold bars in particular are outstandingly suited as a means of payment or barter in times of crisis.
• Investment goal: Fine gold bars protect your wealth exceptionally effectively against the creeping devaluation of money.
• Value preservation: A bar of 999.9 fine gold is a proven store of value that safeguards the real purchasing power of your assets.
• Hedging: In times of inflation, recession and runaway government debt, you stabilise your wealth with gold.

Card case, money clip and personal gold reserve – in a single, slim companion. This bundle combines the I-CLIP AdvantageR Black for 1 g bars with a 1 g gold bar from Heimerle and Meule for I-Clip. Two components, one idea: those who want security carry it with them.

German design meets German fine gold

The I-CLIP is manufactured in Germany. Its frame is made from the specially developed high-performance plastic Robutense, while the cover is crafted from vegetable-tanned cowhide leather – in the AdvantageR variant with its distinctive perforated pattern, whose look is reminiscent of the seats of luxurious limousines. Over the years, this leather develops its own patina. The press stud holds everything together, and the viewing window lets you find the right card instantly.

The centrepiece for investors, however, sits at the money clip: the minted 1 gram bar made of 999.9/1,000 fine gold, produced by Heimerle + Meule. On its obverse, alongside the inscription "FINE GOLD 999.9", it features the traditional melter figure with the year 1845 and the designation "melter assayer". Brilliant Uncirculated, unobtrusive, always within reach – and slim enough that no one would suspect the value you're carrying in your pocket.

Heimerle + Meule: Germany's oldest refinery

The Pforzheim-based manufacturer was founded in 1845 and is considered Germany's oldest gold and silver refinery. The company is certified by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) – a seal of quality that means a great deal in international trade: bars of this origin are recognised worldwide and are bought back by banks and precious metals dealers at daily prices. Those who start small therefore don't have to compromise on quality in any way. In addition to the minted small bars, Heimerle + Meule also produces classic cast bars in larger denominations.

Crisis provisioning: small, divisible, discreet

Small denominations in gold and silver are among the most popular products for emergency situations – both at home and abroad. One gram of fine gold can easily be carried in your wallet while travelling, without drawing attention. That is exactly what makes this combination so practical: the bar sits right where you carry it every day anyway, protected from loss and prying eyes. Should a means of exchange ever be needed that requires no bank connection, no electricity and no trust in a currency, you'll have it with you.

Larger units such as the 2.5 g gold bar offer a lower premium per gram, but are less finely divisible in the event of a trade. The advantage of the 1 gram format lies in its flexibility: the smallest entry size, very high liquidity, ideal for gifting and passing on. That's why many collectors and investors combine both – a foundation of larger bars, plus several gram bars for everyday use.

Tax-attractive, historically proven

Investment gold is exempt from VAT in Germany. And profits from its sale are generally tax-free if the holding period is at least one year. This gives gold a dual effect: as an inflation hedge and as a long-term store of value that can be passed down through generations.

Gold is the oldest currency in the world. It has been shining for over 6,000 years, has never had a value of zero – and has outlived every paper money system that has ever competed against it.

While fiat money is printed and controlled by central banks, the supply of gold is inherently limited. The fact that central banks themselves are the largest holders of gold in the world speaks volumes about their trust in their own product. Gold possesses intrinsic value, is durable, tradable worldwide, and can be converted into cash at any time – qualities that make it a reliable anchor for retirement planning and value preservation.

Who this set is for

For everyone who doesn't want to leave provisioning locked away in a safe, but rather carry it with them every day. For beginners who want to hold real fine gold in their hands with a manageable amount. For frequent travellers who value a quiet reserve. And as a gift with substance, combining design and value: a wallet you'll use for years – and a gram of gold that never loses its shine.
