The 5g Heraeus gold bar is crafted from 24-carat gold with a purity of 999.9 fine by the renowned German precious metals refiner, Heraeus. Each bar comes sealed in a convenient credit card-sized presentation pack and includes an individual serial number along with a certificate of authenticity. Heraeus traces its origins back to 1851, when pharmacist and chemist Wilhelm Carl Heraeus took over his family's pharmacy in Hanau, Germany. Through innovative platinum smelting techniques, he laid the foundation for what would become a globally recognised technology and precious metals company. Today, Heraeus is one of the world's most trusted gold refiners.

Yes. Investment gold bars of 999.9 purity are exempt from UK VAT under HMRC's investment gold exemption. This applies to new and pre-owned bars alike.
Pre-owned means the bar has been previously purchased and returned or traded in. The bar remains in its original Heraeus credit card-sized presentation packaging with serial number and certificate. It may show minor cosmetic marks on the outer card but the sealed bar inside is unaffected. Gold content, purity, and authentication are fully intact. Read: New vs Pre-Owned Bullion.
Heraeus is a German family-owned technology and precious metals group founded in 1851, headquartered in Hanau, Germany. It is one of the largest and most respected precious metals refiners in the world and a recognised LBMA Good Delivery refiner. Bars from top-tier refiners like Heraeus command strong resale demand globally because dealers and buyers recognise and trust the brand.
No. Gold bars are not UK legal tender and are therefore subject to Capital Gains Tax on any profit made upon disposal. If CGT exemption is a priority, consider a CGT-free UK legal tender gold coin such as the Gold Sovereign or Gold Britannia instead.
The 5g bar is one of the most accessible ways to own pure gold, with a lower upfront cost than larger bars. The trade-off is a higher premium per gram compared to 20g, 50g, or 100g bars. It suits investors starting out, building gradually, or looking for a gifting option. Read: Gold Bars by Size: Which Should You Buy?
