Heimerle + Meule · Pforzheim
Gold 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 gold.
- 1845
- The caster. Since 1933 he has been the emblem of the house. In the round stamp, he stands above the year 1845.
- melter assayer
- The one who melts the metal and the one who tests it. Next to these words stands the mark of the house.
- 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.

The Maltese Cross on One Gram of Fine Gold
The 1g gold bar "Malta" unites two worlds. On the obverse, the clearly legible inscription "FINE GOLD 999 9" stands out, with the weight indication "1g" beneath it. The central design is the eight-pointed Maltese Cross, also known as the Cross of the Knights of St. John: four arrow-shaped arms that converge toward the center, each bearing two points on the outer edge. The raised, sculptural minting creates a subtle interplay of light and shadow on the warm, golden-yellow, gleaming surface. Below the cross are the inscription "MALTA," the face value "3 Euro," and the year of issue 2026; a separate field also displays the mint mark with the number 845 as well as the note "melter assayer" indicating the smelting and assay office.
Because this small bar carries an official face value of 3 Euro, it is legal tender in its issuing country, Malta. This is precisely what sets it apart from a classic bar: a bar bearing a coin die and face value becomes a minted bar – a rectangular coin that at first glance looks like a bar, but acquires the status of a coin through its stamped face value.
Quality from Baden-Württemberg
The minted bar is produced by the manufacturer Heimerle + Meule, founded in 1845 in the gold city of Pforzheim and Germany's oldest gold and silver refinery. The company is among the LBMA-accredited manufacturers – a quality seal that stands for globally recognized purity and flawless workmanship.

The Ideal Means of Exchange for an Emergency
Especially small denominations in gold and silver are among the most popular products when it comes to preparing for various emergency situations – both at home and abroad. A single gram of gold can be discreetly carried in your wallet while traveling without attracting attention, and can be divided and easily traded when needed. Because gold is recognized worldwide as a currency, it functions as a means of exchange wherever paper money loses trust. Small units give you the flexibility to exchange only as much value as you actually need.
Gold is humanity's oldest currency – it has never had a value of zero and has outlasted every paper currency.
Inflation Hedge and Value Preservation in Physical Form
As a scarce commodity with limited supply, gold offers proven protection against inflation: while central banks can expand fiat money almost at will, the physical supply of gold remains limited. This supports its value over long periods and makes the minted bar a solid building block for long-term value preservation and gradual wealth accumulation. Its high liquidity also speaks for itself – gold can be sold at any time and quickly converted back into cash. An additional benefit: profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.
Those who prefer to start with the "little brother" or wish to diversify specifically will also find the Malta minted bar in silver. And even if the occasion is a personal one, such as a christening or a birthday: with this gift, you're not giving a mere token of attention, but full-fledged investment gold that retains its shine and substance for generations.
