The emblem
The hand with the roses
Heraeus bars bear a round emblem with the legend HERAEUS EDELMETALLE HANAU. A hand grasps the stems of three roses, with an H beside it.
The hand with the roses comes from the Heraeus family coat of arms, of which the emblem shows only a part. The family chronicle suggests that the apothecary Isaac Heraeus chose the motif in memory of his birthplace, Güstrow.
From the unicorn to the flame
1668
“Zum weißen Einhorn”
On the market square of Hanau’s New Town, Isaac Heraeus opens his own pharmacy in a half-timbered house and names it “Zum weißen Einhorn”, the White Unicorn.
1856
Germany’s first platinum melt
Platinum is much sought after in jewellery making, but until then it can only be forged and pressed when white-hot. After lengthy experiments, Wilhelm Carl Heraeus melts two kilograms of platinum with an oxyhydrogen blowpipe.
1768 °C
Platinum does not melt until it reaches this temperature.
1945
Destruction and a new beginning
Air raids in 1944 and 1945 almost completely destroy the works in Hanau, and on 19 March 1945 the original pharmacy building as well. After the war, Heraeus at first makes cooking pots, hotplates and immersion heaters. Above the entrance of the original building, rebuilt in 1951 and 1952, a bronze unicorn has recalled the pharmacy ever since.
2025
365 years
The family celebrates “365 years of Heraeus”. The company still belongs to the family today.

German Precision Meets Highest Purity
The imposing bar presents itself in its characteristic cast form with a slightly convex surface and gently rounded corners. The typical grinding marks and polishing lines give each individual piece a distinctive, artisanal character. The silvery metallic lustre bears witness to the exceptional fineness of 999.9 thousandths – it simply does not get any purer than this.

Why This Bar Is Your Perfect Inflation Hedge
In times of rising prices and economic uncertainty, physical silver proves to be a tried-and-tested shield for your savings. While paper money continuously loses purchasing power, silver retains its intrinsic value – independent of political decisions or central bank policy.
"Silver is not just a precious metal – it is an insurance against the uncertainties of our time."
The advantages of this substantial investment are plain to see:
- Tax benefits: After a holding period of at least one year, profits from the sale are completely tax-free
