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.

10 x 1 g Malta Minted Bars in Fine Gold by Heimerle + Meule – A Small Treasure for Times of Crisis
- Crisis protection: Small gold bars in particular serve as handy means of payment and exchange in turbulent times – discreet, accepted worldwide, and immediately usable in an emergency.
- Investment objective: With these ten minted bars, you effectively safeguard your wealth – against future crises as well as against creeping monetary devaluation.
- Value preservation: As a proven store of value, these small bars protect the real value of your savings and pass on substance across generations.
- Hedging: In phases of inflation, recession, and runaway government debt, you protect your wealth with physical gold.
Ten finely minted 1-gram bars of 999.9 fine gold, each adorned with the unmistakable Maltese cross, the issuing country Malta, a face value of 3 euros, and the year of issue 2026: that is the "CoinBar Box" by Heimerle + Meule. Each piece rests securely in its own capsule, and all together they are protected in an elegant black box. The minted bars were produced in collaboration with the Royal Dutch Mint – a product that combines collector's charm with sober investment sense in the smallest of spaces. Delivered as new goods in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, complete with authenticity features from the mint.
What makes a minted bar so special
At first glance, the pieces look like a classic bar – rectangular, clean, and precisely minted. In fact, they are rectangular coins. The decisive difference is the stamped face value of 3 euros: through this, the minted bars receive the status of official legal tender in their issuing country of Malta and are also recognised as coins in Germany. Those who prefer large, contiguous units will find an alternative in the divisible CombiBars – the Malta Box, on the other hand, delivers ten fully-fledged, individually usable units right out of the box.
Small denominations – flexible, portable, crisis-proof
A single large bar is difficult to "break down" in an emergency. This is precisely where small denominations come into their own. Ten separate gram units can be selectively exchanged, gifted, or sold one by one, without having to part with all of your precious metal at once. Such handy values in gold and silver are among the most popular products for a wide variety of emergency situations – whether at home in a drawer or on the road in a distant country. They fit discreetly into a wallet and can be taken along on travels without attracting attention. In this way, the bars combine solid inflation hedge with genuine freedom of movement.
Heimerle + Meule – Tradition from Baden-Württemberg
Behind these minted bars stands a name of considerable weight. Heimerle + Meule from Pforzheim is Germany's oldest gold and silver refinery, founded as far back as 1845 in the historic gold city at the heart of Baden-Württemberg. As an LBMA-recognised "Good Delivery" refiner, the company stands for the highest purity and verified quality – every gram of gold bar from this manufacturer bears this hallmark. Whoever acquires a gold bar from Heimerle + Meule is purchasing not only precious metal, but also nearly two centuries of experience.
Why physical gold has been convincing for millennia
Gold is humanity's oldest currency and has outlasted all paper currencies, empires, and crises. For over 6,000 years it has served as a store of value, its lustre endures – and its intrinsic value has never been zero. While central banks can expand fiat money almost without limit, the supply of gold is naturally scarce; it is no coincidence that central banks themselves hold enormous reserves of the yellow metal. There is also the practical aspect: physical gold is exempt from VAT, and profits from its sale are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. The 10-piece box thus elegantly bridges the gap between a single 1 g gold bar and a compact 10 g gold bar: it offers the total weight of a larger bar while retaining the full divisibility of ten individual units.
A 10 g bar looks impressive in a safe – but ten individual grams are real exchange currency in an emergency. It is precisely this flexibility that makes the Malta Box a practical companion for any kind of preparedness.
