Argor-Heraeus is recognised at every professional bullion dealer in Europe, which translates into very high liquidity on the secondary market. The refinery processes both primary gold (mine-doré) and recycled gold (LBMA Responsible Gold), meeting the highest ethical sourcing standards. Thanks to LBMA Good Delivery accreditation, the bars are accepted without additional verification at bullion banks, dealers and precious metals exchanges worldwide.
Investors building a diversified precious metals portfolio often combine gold bars with bullion coins and monitor current metal quotations. See also gold investment coins, silver bullion bars and current precious metals prices.

FAQ - frequently asked questions
How much gold does the 5 g bar contain?
The bar contains exactly 5 g of pure gold with 999.9/1000 fineness, equivalent to 0.1607 troy ounces. Bar dimensions are 14 × 23 × 0.5 mm.
What is the difference between minted and cast bars?
Minted bars have a smooth, mirror-like surface and sharp edges, as they are produced by stamping from rolled strips. Cast bars have a rough, matte surface and are made by pouring molten gold into moulds. Minted bars are usually more expensive due to the more complex production process but look more aesthetically refined.
Does the bar come with an assay certificate?
Yes, every bar comes from an LBMA-certified refinery and is delivered with a serial number and assay certificate confirming fineness and weight.
Who manufactures the Argor-Heraeus bar?
The bar is manufactured by Argor-Heraeus SA - Argor-Heraeus is one of the oldest and most reputable precious metals refineries in the world, based in Mendrisio, Switzerland (since 1951). The company is LBMA Good Delivery accredited.
Is investment gold subject to VAT?
No. Investment gold (bars with a minimum fineness of 995/1000 and qualifying coins) is VAT-exempt across the European Union under Council Directive 98/80/EC. This is a significant advantage of gold over silver or platinum.
What is the Kinebar® hologram and does it increase the value?
Kinebar® is a patented kinegraphic security technology developed by Heraeus and OVD Kinegram. The three-dimensional hologram changes its image depending on the angle of light and is practically counterfeit-proof. It increases recognition and security, although the market price depends mainly on metal content.
How liquid are Argor-Heraeus bars?
Bars from LBMA Good Delivery-accredited refineries are among the most liquid gold investment products in Europe. They are accepted without additional verification at bullion banks, professional buybacks and dealers worldwide.
How do I store a 5 g bar?
It is best to keep the bar in the original packaging, in a dry place away from moisture. For higher values, we recommend a home safe rated at least S2 (EN 14450) or class 0 (EN 1143-1) - depending on the value of the gold stored - or an insured bank safe deposit box.
How does GoldInvest24 ship bars?
