Heraeus
From a family’s coat of arms, struck in gold.
A family business headquartered in Hanau. Its roots go back to a pharmacy that the family ran from 1660 onwards.
The emblem
The hand with the roses
Heraeus bars bear a round emblem with the legend HERAEUS EDELMETALLE HANAU. A hand grasps the stems of three roses, with an H beside it.
The hand with the roses comes from the Heraeus family coat of arms, of which the emblem shows only a part. The family chronicle suggests that the apothecary Isaac Heraeus chose the motif in memory of his birthplace, Güstrow.
Minted
Seven minted sizes
On the minted bars, Heraeus, Feingold 999.9, the emblem and the weight stand out smooth and crisp in the metal.
In true proportion to one another, with dimensions as stated by Heraeus.

“Zum weißen Einhorn”
On the market square of Hanau’s New Town, Isaac Heraeus opens his own pharmacy in a half-timbered house and names it “Zum weißen Einhorn”, the White Unicorn.
1694
The first gold
His son, Franz Heraeus, supplies fine gold used to gild the letters, the ball and the weathercock of the French church in Hanau. Heraeus calls this the first contact with precious metals in its history.
1856
Germany’s first platinum melt
Platinum is much sought after in jewellery making, but until then it can only be forged and pressed when white-hot. After lengthy experiments, Wilhelm Carl Heraeus melts two kilograms of platinum with an oxyhydrogen blowpipe.
1768 °C
Platinum does not melt until it reaches this temperature.
1945
Destruction and a new beginning
Air raids in 1944 and 1945 almost completely destroy the works in Hanau, and on 19 March 1945 the original pharmacy building as well. After the war, Heraeus at first makes cooking pots, hotplates and immersion heaters. Above the entrance of the original building, rebuilt in 1951 and 1952, a bronze unicorn has recalled the pharmacy ever since.

365 years

Assayed in Switzerland
The signature on the card
In our product photos, the card shows the fineness and the weight, the line “Vereidigter Edelmetallprüfer” (sworn assayer) with the signature Ruffoni, and the round seal of Argor-Heraeus with the word Switzerland.
Alessandro Ruffoni had been a sworn assayer at Argor-Heraeus since 1991, licensed by the Swiss Central Office for Precious Metals Control. His signature appeared on the certificates of bars from Argor-Heraeus and from Heraeus. After his retirement in 2023, it was gradually replaced by that of Simone Marsan.
Argor was founded in Ticino in 1951. The name combines argento and oro, the Italian words for silver and gold.

Why invest in gold?
Gold is more than just a precious metal – it is the oldest currency in the world and has an intrinsic value that is independent of economic crises or inflation. Gold is a stable and proven store of value for over 6,000 years and has never reached a value of zero, because it possesses intrinsic value. Gold protects you against loss of purchasing power and is used as a hedge against inflation and currency risks.
Investment objective: Inflation hedge with gold bars
- Gold has an intrinsic value and is recognised worldwide as a currency.
- It is tradeable worldwide and can be used as a medium of exchange.
- Gold is a scarce commodity with limited supply, which leads to long-term value stability.
- It offers protection against political and economic crises.
- Gold has a low correlation to other asset classes such as equities and bonds, which contributes to portfolio diversification.
Gold as a long-term retirement provision
Gold can serve as a long-term retirement provision and pass wealth from generation to generation. It serves as a store of value when confidence in fiat money fluctuates or declines. While fiat money is printed and controlled by central banks, the availability and supply of gold is limited, which contributes to the stability of its value.
Quote: "Gold is the money of God. It has been shining for millennia and will never lose its lustre."
Conclusion
The 100 g gold bar Heraeus is an investment product that convinces through its high quality and attractive design. It is not only a great way to invest in gold and protect yourself against inflation, but also a valuable collector's item. So if you are looking for a reliable and effective way to protect your wealth, you should consider the 100 g gold bar Heraeus.
