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

Those who invest in silver choose a currency that has proven its worth for millennia.
Why This Small Minted Bar Is So Convincing
The idea behind the minted bar is brilliantly simple: take the form of a classic bar, add the properties of a coin – and you get a product that combines both worlds. Thanks to its official status as legal tender in the issuing country of Malta, this piece stands out clearly from conventional silver bars. Rectangular in shape, coin-like in nature – a fascinating hybrid for collectors and investors alike.

Inflation Hedge in Pocket-Sized Format
When central bank printing presses are running at full speed and confidence in paper currencies is crumbling, many a saver asks: What will be left in the end? Precious metals provide a clear answer. Silver has been established as a store of value for millennia and is regarded as a proven inflation hedge. While fiat money is based on trust in governments, silver possesses intrinsic value – supported by industrial demand in electronics, solar technology and medicine, as well as a naturally limited supply.
"Silver was money long before banks existed – and it will remain money long after many a currency has become history."
Crisis-Proof and Independent
Small denominations such as this 1-gram minted bar have their very own appeal when it comes to crisis protection. They are divisible, handy, easy to conceal and immediately usable in a potential barter situation. Who knows whether tomorrow you might want to pay the baker with a kilogram bar? With one gram of silver, on the other hand, you can act flexibly – which makes this product particularly attractive for forward-thinking investors.
Comparison: Minted Bar, Classic Bar or CombiBar?
The range includes many small treasures. A silver CombiBar, for example, can be divided into individual gram pieces along pre-minted break lines – cleverly designed for use in a crisis. Classic cast bars score on pure material value. The minted bar offered here, in turn, combines both: it is official legal tender of Malta, bears a clean coin stamp and impresses with the look of a small mini-bar. The CombiBar remains an exciting alternative for those who wish to handle larger quantities flexibly.
Who Benefits from Buying?
- Beginners who want to enter the world of physical precious metals with a manageable budget
- Collectors who love international coin designs and appreciate the combination of bar and coin
- Savers who want to supplement their portfolio with divisible small denominations
