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.

0.5g Gold Malta Minted Bar by Heimerle + Meule – Crisis Protection in Miniature Format
An eight-pointed Maltese cross, warmly gleaming fine gold and an official Euro face value: The 0.5g Malta minted bar combines the substance of a gold bar with the status of a genuine coin. What matters, however, is not the design, but the fine gold it contains – tangible investment gold, whose value is based on the gold price. Anyone looking to make their wealth crisis-proof will find the ideal entry point into physical gold investment here.
- Investment goal: With gold bars, you effectively protect your wealth against creeping currency devaluation and secure your purchasing power.
- Value preservation: The minted bar serves as a reliable store of value, preserving the real value of your savings and strengthening it over the years.
- Protection: Especially in times of inflation, recession and high government debt, you protect your wealth with physical gold.
Optimal Medium of Exchange for Emergencies
In uncertain times, small units of gold are valuable. The 0.5g Malta minted bar comes in a stable credit-card-sized CoinBar Card and can be discreetly stored in your wallet – at home and while traveling abroad. This is precisely why small denominations of gold and silver are so sought after for crisis protection: they are easy to transport and can be flexibly used as a medium of exchange in various emergency situations. Half a gram of fine gold is deliberately kept in a low denomination – ideal for building up tangible assets step by step, which remain safely tradable at all times.
Gold is humanity's oldest currency. It has never had a value of zero, is recognized worldwide as a means of payment and exchange, and has protected against loss of purchasing power for over 6,000 years.
Fine Gold, Maltese Cross and an Official Face Value
The rectangular, portrait-format bar with rounded corners and a slightly raised edge is made of 999.9 fine gold. The highly polished surface shimmers in warm yellow and gold tones. At its center, the eight-pointed Maltese cross (Cross of the Knights of St. John), the emblem of Malta and the Order of Malta, stands out in relief. Surrounding it are the engravings "FINE GOLD 999.9", the weight specification "0.5g", the lettering "MALTA", the face value "1.50 Euro" as well as the year "2026"; at the bottom edge, a "melter assayer" field identifies the smelter and assayer.
Because the bar bears an embossed face value, it is classified as a coin in Germany – hence the term minted bar. Issued under license from the Central Bank of Malta, the 1.50 Euro minted bar is official legal tender in the issuing country, thus combining the stable value of physical gold with the character of an official currency.
Heimerle + Meule – Precious Metals Expertise from Baden-Württemberg
The Malta minted bar is manufactured by Heimerle + Meule, founded in 1845 in the gold city of Pforzheim and thus Germany's oldest gold and silver refinery. As an LBMA-recognized manufacturer, the family business stands for the highest purity, precise workmanship and quickly verifiable minting features – a gold bar of this kind, weighing just one gram, carries the seal "Made in Germany". The price is always based on the current gold value, so you always know where you stand.
Value Preservation That Lasts for Generations
Gold is a scarce commodity with limited supply and low correlation to other assets – exactly what makes it a proven building block for inflation hedging and long-term value preservation. It is not without reason that central banks around the world hold large gold reserves. On a smaller scale, the same principle applies: many small quantities of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune. Even for personal occasions such as christenings, birthdays or weddings, giving this minted bar as a gift means giving not merely a present, but full-fledged investment gold – a genuine asset that develops in line with the gold price and can be passed down through generations.
