The name
The C. stands for Carl.
In 1869, Carl Hafner carries on the sweepings works under his own name: C. Hafner. A reference from his apprenticeship values him for his “loyalty, honesty, love of work and morality”, in the words of his time.
Today, descendants of Carl Hafner run the house in the fifth generation; since 1995, Birgitta Hafner and her cousin Dr. Philipp Reisert have led it together. As its guiding principle, the house names the honourable merchant.
“We have a good name, but it only stays as good as it stands up to external scrutiny.”

The assay
If it enters the house,it is tested.
In 1892 the Carl Dieterle assay office joins the house. The assay laboratory works with docimasy, according to C.Hafner the oldest known method of determining the fineness of gold alloys.
Every delivery is analysed. If it is melted down into a bar, that bar is drilled and the drillings are tested for their precious metal content. For the fire assay, a report from 2025 gives two to three days.
The laboratory is accredited by DAkkS as a testing laboratory to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, for determining fine metals in precious metal alloys, and it takes part in international proficiency tests.
The bar
The format of about 400 ounces.
Under the LBMA rule, such a bar has a fineness of at least 995.0/1,000 and bears a serial number, the refinery’s stamp and the fineness, and on bars from 2019 onwards also the month and year of manufacture.
The marks are on the larger face, the cast surface at the top of the mould.
C.Hafner calls melting and casting an important part of its DNA as a refinery.

The Essence of Purity and Stability
As brand-new goods from Germany, this bar is an outstanding product within the broader category of gold bars. Without a face value, it represents the intrinsic value that the precious metal gold has maintained for over 6,000 years.
A Monument of Value
Gold, the money of God, has never reached a value of zero and is prized as a stable and proven store of value. This 400 oz bar is a testament to the longevity and brilliance of gold, which has shone for millennia and will never lose its luster in the future. The fact that gold serves as a hedge against inflation and currency risks makes it an indispensable component for those seeking effective inflation protection.
Gold – A Scarce and Sought-After Asset
The scarcity of gold leads to long-term value stability, and its high liquidity allows investors to convert their bars into cash quickly and easily. Gold bars like this one from C. Hafner offer protection against political and economic crises and are an essential part of a diversified portfolio.
Gold – A Symbol of Prosperity Through the Centuries
The world's largest holders of gold are central banks, which thereby express a clear distrust of their own product, fiat money. This gold bar not only serves as long-term retirement provision but can also pass wealth from generation to generation. In times when confidence in fiat money fluctuates or declines, gold remains a constant means of preserving value.
Technical Details of the 400 oz Gold Bar
The bar is manufactured to the highest standards and complies with the LBMA's Good Delivery Standard. This guarantees its worldwide acceptance and tradability. Its gross and fine weight of 400 oz (12,441.4 g) and its fineness of 999.9/1,000 testify to its purity and value.
Tax Advantages and VAT-Free Investment
Profits from the sale of gold are generally tax-free if the holding period is at least one year. As a VAT-free investment product, it offers an attractive way to protect yourself against the loss of purchasing power while benefiting from tax advantages.
Conclusion
The 400 oz gold bar from C. Hafner is a solid fortress in the world of finance, a lighthouse of stability in a sea of uncertainty. As an investment product and a sign of wealth and power, gold has maintained its position through the centuries and will continue to do so. Invest in a store of value that has proven its shine and worth throughout the ages – invest in gold bars.
