A Traditional Company from the Gold City of Pforzheim

C. Hafner was founded in 1850 by Carl Hafner and is today one of the oldest active refineries in the world. The family-owned business, headquartered in Wimsheim near Pforzheim, has held the coveted LBMA Good Delivery status since March 2013. This quality seal is more than decoration – it enables the worldwide trading of bars without discounts. Also noteworthy is the company's ecological commitment: C. Hafner consciously processes secondary materials and, since 2019, has been one of the pioneers in producing CO2-neutral gold.

Processing, Security, and Design

The front of the minted bar bears the manufacturer's logo, the inscription "seit 1850" and "GERMANY", as well as the fine weight, "FEINGOLD", and the fineness "999.9". The rectangular shape with rounded corners, the wide smooth edge, and the intricate micro-structure of the surface make counterfeiting difficult. On the reverse, a six-digit serial number is embossed, which is repeated on the blister card – a card that also serves as a certificate of authenticity thanks to an integrated special foil.

Inflation Hedge in Vest-Pocket Format

Gold is the world's oldest currency and a proven store of value for over 6,000 years. It possesses an intrinsic, inherent value, has never had a price of zero, and protects you against loss of purchasing power. Those who specifically rely on inflation hedging also appreciate the high liquidity: gold can be traded around the globe and converted back into cash at any time. While fiat money can be printed by central banks in virtually unlimited quantities, the supply of gold is naturally scarce. It is precisely this scarcity that has supported its value over the centuries – not without reason do central banks themselves hold enormous gold reserves.

Comparison: Small Gold Bar, Gold Coin, or Silver?

Compared to larger denominations, the small gram gold bar scores points with divisibility: you can build up your wealth piece by piece and, if needed, sell only as much as you currently require. Compared to a gold coin, the numismatic collector's design is absent – in return, you pay for the pure metal. And in relation to silver, gold is considered the "big brother of little silver": those who combine both, for example with gold coins, silver bars, or silver coins, diversify more broadly and benefit from gold's low correlation with traditional markets.

For Beginners, Collectors, and Gift-Givers

Whether as a first step into the world of precious metals, as a thoughtful gift, or as a building block of a cross-generational retirement provision: the 1 g gold bar from C. Hafner is versatile. Gains from a later sale are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year, and investment gold is exempt from VAT. This way, you secure a piece of enduring value preservation – and can conveniently purchase this gold bar at Kettner Edelmetalle.
