The name
The C. stands for Carl.
In 1869, Carl Hafner carries on the sweepings works under his own name: C. Hafner. A reference from his apprenticeship values him for his “loyalty, honesty, love of work and morality”, in the words of his time.
Today, descendants of Carl Hafner run the house in the fifth generation; since 1995, Birgitta Hafner and her cousin Dr. Philipp Reisert have led it together. As its guiding principle, the house names the honourable merchant.
“We have a good name, but it only stays as good as it stands up to external scrutiny.”

The assay
If it enters the house,it is tested.
In 1892 the Carl Dieterle assay office joins the house. The assay laboratory works with docimasy, according to C.Hafner the oldest known method of determining the fineness of gold alloys.
Every delivery is analysed. If it is melted down into a bar, that bar is drilled and the drillings are tested for their precious metal content. For the fire assay, a report from 2025 gives two to three days.
The laboratory is accredited by DAkkS as a testing laboratory to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, for determining fine metals in precious metal alloys, and it takes part in international proficiency tests.

Why Invest in Gold Right Now?
The signs are ominous: record inflation is eating away at purchasing power, and central banks are printing money like never before. This is precisely where gold's true strength as an inflation hedge becomes apparent. While the money in your account gradually loses value, gold retains its purchasing power – and often even increases it during times of crisis.
The Advantages at a Glance:
- Tax-free gains: After just one year of holding, your profits are completely tax-free
- VAT-exempt: You purchase gold without the usual 19% surcharge
- Crisis-proof: As the ultimate crisis protection instrument, gold has proven itself for over 6,000 years
- Tradable worldwide: Whether in Frankfurt, New York, or Shanghai – gold is accepted everywhere
- Physical ownership: You hold real value in your hands, not digital promises
The Perfect Size for Flexible Wealth Protection
With half an ounce, you have chosen the ideal denomination. Large enough for substantial investments, small enough for flexibility. In times of crisis, you can easily sell partial amounts or use it as a means of exchange. The secure blister card protects your bar optimally and preserves its Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
Interesting to know: the world's largest gold holders are central banks. They hoard gold by the tonne – a clear signal that even the creators of paper money no longer trust their own product. Follow the example of the professionals!
Your Wealth Deserves Real Protection
This C. Hafner gold bar is more than just a shiny piece of metal. It is your personal insurance against currency turbulence, your anchor in stormy times. While stocks can crash and real estate is illiquid, gold remains the eternal rock in the surf.
The compact 1/2 ounce is ideally suited for systematic wealth accumulation. Month by month, you can expand your gold reserves and thus step by step build a crisis-proof foundation for your retirement. Remember: gold has never had a value of zero – unlike countless currencies that have become worthless throughout history.
Secure your 1/2 ounce C. Hafner gold bar now and protect your wealth from the creeping expropriation of inflation. In times when money loses its value, gold gains in importance!
