1 Ounce Gold Bar Heraeus: fine gold from Hanau with its own serial number
- Investment goal: With gold bars you free part of your savings from the steady devaluation of money.
- Preserving value: Fine gold carries today's purchasing power far into the future.
- Protection: Rising living costs, a faltering economy and states with growing mountains of debt weigh on all savings. In such phases, gold is a steady support for your wealth.
- Marking: an individual serial number, stamped directly into the metal
- Origin: fine gold 999.9/1,000, minted in Germany
Anyone who owns gold wants to know exactly what they are holding. With this bar from Heraeus, the minted lettering itself provides the answer: manufacturer, purity, company headquarters and weight are stamped directly into the metal, complemented by a serial number that only this one piece bears. This turns a fine ounce of German manufacture into a traceable inflation hedge.
What the minting of the ounce reveals
The lettering on the bar names the manufacturer Heraeus, the word Feingold (German for fine gold) and the fineness. Below it is the logo of Heraeus Edelmetalle, a stylised H combined with a bouquet of flowers. The next line gives Hanau, the headquarters of Heraeus, and the weight of 1 ounce; the serial number comes last. Rounded corners give the bar a clean shape, and the minted details stand out clearly on its smooth, shiny surface.
Why a serial number benefits you
The serial number distinguishes your bar from every other. You can record it in your documents and so prove at any time which bars belong to your holdings. If more bars are added later, you simply add their numbers to your records. Together with the certificate of authenticity that belongs to the bar, you have clear proof of what you own.
Heraeus and the melting of platinum
The name on the bar stands for long experience in processing precious metals. The founder of Heraeus was among the first to succeed in melting platinum on an industrial scale. From this know-how grew a company operating worldwide that processes precious metals for many industries and is recognised as a manufacturer by the London precious metals association LBMA. Its bars are therefore also accepted in trading between banks.
No face value, but the value of the metal
Every banknote bears a fixed amount. That number stays the same, but what you get for it shrinks over the years. Your bar, by contrast, carries no face value. Its value lies in 31.1 g of fine gold, and inflation changes nothing about this weight.
That is why the bar is also suitable as crisis protection for uncertain times. As investment gold, the ounce is exempt from VAT. In Germany, private gains from selling gold are tax-free after more than twelve months of ownership.
