Heimerle + Meule · Pforzheim
Silver with a face value.
It began with the dust of the workshops.
Jewellery has been made in Pforzheim since the 18th century. Wherever there is filing, sawing and polishing, precious metal falls to the floor as fine dust and ends up in the sweepings.
The entrepreneur Julius Dittler founds a sweepings works, a “Kehretsanstalt”, to recover precious metal from production waste.
1845
This is the year the story of Heimerle + Meule begins. To this day, the date appears in the mark of the house.
Inside the works
From scrap to bar.
The scrap
Jewellery, coins, cutlery, dental gold and industrial residues: from these, the house recovers precious metal today.
The pour
Gold melts at 1,064 degrees Celsius, silver at 962 degrees. The melter pours the molten metal from the crucible into the mould.
The bar
At the end comes the finished bar, bearing its weight and fineness. According to the company, the fine metals used are produced in its own refinery.
A house that carries on.
1945
In ruins
On 23 February an air raid destroys Pforzheim’s town centre. The company’s building is also lost in the war. Afterwards, it makes a fresh start in the premises of a jewellery and watch factory.
1977
The Brötzinger Tal
The company moves out of the town centre to the Brötzinger Tal, a valley that had been filled in after the war, partly with the rubble of the old town. Its headquarters have been there ever since.
2010
Bars for investors
Heimerle + Meule launches its investment products division. Today, bars, boxes and cards for investors are part of its range.
2014
Good Delivery
On 3 June the London Bullion Market Association admits the company to its Good Delivery List, the register of recognised gold refiners. It has remained on the list since that day.
MALTA CoinBars
The Maltese cross.
The small bar bears the Maltese cross, its fineness and weight, the lettering Malta, the year 2026 and a face value in euros: 3 euros on the one-gram gold bar, 1.50 euros on the half-gram gold bar, 15 euro cents on the one-gram silver bar.
According to Heimerle + Meule, the coin bars are issued under licence from the Central Bank of Malta.
On the bar
What the marks say.
- 999.9
- The fineness in parts per thousand: out of 1,000 parts, 999.9 are pure silver.
- 1845
- The caster. Since 1933 he has been the emblem of the house. In the round stamp, he stands above the year 1845.
- MADE IN GERMANY
- The house has its headquarters and works in Pforzheim, Germany.
- HEIMERLE + MEULE
- The company has borne this name since the second half of the 19th century.
From dust came a name.
Made to last.
The idea of the sweepings works lives on, too: recovering and refining precious metal has been the heart of the house since its founding.
Manufacturer: Heimerle + Meule GmbH, gold and silver refinery, Dennigstraße 16, Pforzheim.
1g Silver Minted Bar Malta by Heimerle und Meule – Small in Size, Great in Value
- Investment objective: With silver bars, you protect your wealth highly effectively against the creeping loss of purchasing power caused by inflation.
- Value preservation: As a reliable store of value, silver minted bars safeguard the real equivalent of your savings while also offering attractive appreciation potential.
- Hedging: Especially during periods of inflation, recession, and runaway government debt, physical silver protects your capital in a time-tested way.
- Tax advantage: After a holding period of twelve months, any capital gains from the private sale of silver are generally tax-free.
Sometimes the greatest value comes in the smallest format. That is exactly what the 1g Silver Minted Bar Malta from Heimerle und Meule stands for — one of Germany's most traditional refineries. In just one gram, this piece combines German precision, verified fineness of 999.9/1,000 fine silver, and the character of an official legal tender coin. Those who invest in silver trust in a currency that has proven itself for millennia — and has outlasted every paper currency.
Coin and Bar United in One Piece
The idea behind the minted bar is brilliantly simple. Take the plain, rectangular shape of a bar and add the legal properties of a coin. Through the stamped face value of 15 euro cents and issuance via Malta, the rectangular piece attains the status of legal tender. The result is a fascinating hybrid: visually a small mini-bar, legally an official silver coin. It is precisely this dual nature that sets the piece apart from conventional silver bars and makes it equally appealing to collectors and investors alike.
Silver was money long before banks existed — and it remains money when some currencies have long since become history.

Inflation Hedge in Pocket-Sized Format
When the printing presses run hot and confidence in paper currencies begins to crumble, many savers wonder what will be left in the end. Silver provides a clear answer. It has been established as a store of value for millennia and is regarded as a proven inflation hedge. While fiat money rests solely on trust in governments, silver possesses intrinsic value — supported by enormous industrial demand in electronics, solar technology, and medicine, as well as a naturally limited supply. When demand rises while supply remains scarce, this speaks in the long term for a stable value base.
Crisis-Proof, Divisible, Independent
Small denominations like this 1-gram minted bar have their own particular appeal for crisis protection. They are handy, easy to store, and immediately usable in a potential barter situation. Who knows whether tomorrow you might want to pay the baker with a heavy kilogram bar? With one gram of silver, you stay flexible — and independent of the banking system. Added to this is high liquidity: silver is traded worldwide and can be converted back into cash at any time if needed.
Minted Bar, Classic Bar, or CombiBar?
The range includes many small treasures, and each format has its own charm. A CombiBar can be conveniently broken along pre-minted perforations into individual gram pieces. Classic cast bars, on the other hand, score points for pure material value and their original appearance. The minted bar combines the best of both worlds: it is official legal tender of Malta, bears a clean coin stamp, and impresses with the handy form of a mini-bar. Who is best suited to purchase one:
- Beginners who want to start investing in physical precious metals with a manageable budget
- Collectors who appreciate international coin designs and the combination of bar and coin
- Those planning ahead, who wish to supplement their portfolio with divisible small denominations for diversification
- Gift-givers who want to bring lasting joy with a Brilliant Uncirculated silver piece
Silver is durable, retains its physical properties across generations, and is therefore ideally suited for passing on wealth over time. With the 1g Silver Minted Bar Malta by Heimerle und Meule, you acquire a piece of German minting artistry, Maltese coin character, and genuine precious metal security — packaged in one gram that weighs heavier than its size might suggest.
