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.
