Minted or cast Heraeus gold bars
Within the product range, the manufacturer makes a clear distinction between two production methods. This difference determines not only the appearance but also the price structure:
- Minted bars (1 gram to 100 grams): These compact bars are cleanly stamped from a sheet of gold. They feature a reflective finish and sharp details. You will always receive these gold bars in a sealed blister pack including an integrated certificate.
- Cast bars (100 grams to 1 kilogram): In this production process, the molten precious metal is poured directly into a mold. This results in a robust and authentic appearance. Because this manufacturing process is less labor-intensive, the premium per gram is often significantly lower.

The specialized product lines of Heraeus
In addition to the standard versions, the refinery also produces several unique variants that you will find at virtually no other provider. This makes purchasing a Heraeus gold bar particularly interesting for investors with specific requirements.
Heraeus Kinebar®
The Kinebar® is a minted gold bar featuring a Kinegram®: a holographic security feature that becomes visible when you view the bar from different angles. The exact same technology is used in passports and banknotes.
The feature is virtually impossible to counterfeit and is patented, making the Kinebar one of the most secure gold bars on the market. It is available in weights of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 grams, and 1 troy ounce.
Heraeus MultiDisc
The MultiDisc from Heraeus is a square card containing 10 detachable 1-gram gold bars. Each segment is a fully fledged, certified, and minted bar with its own identification. The design combines the economies of scale of a larger purchase with the flexibility to sell individual 1-gram bars.
Heraeus CombiBar™
The CombiBar™ operates on the same principle as the MultiDisc, but in larger formats: 20, 50, or 100 small 1-gram bars combined into a single unit. You can easily break off the individual 1-gram bars by hand without losing any value or certification.
This makes the CombiBar attractive to investors who value flexibility on the selling side, for example when you want to sell in parts rather than all at once.

At The Silver Mountain you can buy Heraeus gold bars safely and secure online, with a quality certificate.
Which weight suits which investor?
Heraeus gold bars are available in 11 gold weights, ranging from 1 gram to 1 kilogram. Which bar suits you best depends on your goal and investment horizon. Below is a general guideline, not investment advice, but rather the practical considerations we frequently encounter in discussions with clients:
- 1 up to 10 grams: suitable for those looking to build wealth gradually with periodic purchases or as a valuable gift.
- 20 grams to 1 troy ounce: the ideal mid-sized format offering a highly attractive ratio between the purchase amount and production costs.
- 50 and 100 grams: immensely popular among investors who want to convert a substantial amount into physical gold in one go, at a competitive price per gram.
- MultiDisc and CombiBar: perfect for investors wishing to combine the economies of scale of a larger purchase with the flexibility to sell in small fractions in the future.
Are you unsure which weight best fits your situation? Our precious metal specialists are happy to think along with you, free of obligation.
A word from our expert Rolf:
"In my years of experience in the precious metals market, I have learned that liquidity and trust are the most important factors. Heraeus gold bars guarantee these values. With their purity and global accreditation, they offer investors a great deal of peace of mind. We therefore recommend these bars with full conviction to anyone who wants to safely build their wealth."
Rolf van Zanten - May 2026What determines the price of Heraeus gold bars?
The price of a Heraeus gold bar is primarily determined by the current gold price, the weight of the bar, and the premium above the gold price. This premium consists of, among other things, production costs, logistics, availability, and the trading margin.
Because the gold price fluctuates constantly, the prices of Heraeus gold bars also change. On the product pages of The Silver Mountain, prices are automatically adjusted to the current gold price. This allows you to immediately see what you pay for a specific gold bar at that moment.
When comparing prices, it is important to look not only at the total amount but also at the price per gram. Larger gold bars are often more cost-effective per gram, while smaller gold bars offer more flexibility.

Frequently asked questions about Heraeus gold bars
1. What is the purity of a Heraeus gold bar?
All gold bars from this producer come with a guaranteed purity of 999.9 pure gold. This is equivalent to 24-karat precious metal. Due to this exceptionally high level of purity, all of these bars legally qualify as investment gold, allowing you to purchase them completely exempt from VAT.
2. What is the difference between minted and cast bars?
The manufacturer utilizes two distinct production methodologies. Minted bars up to 100 grams are sharply stamped from a gold sheet and feature a mirror-like finish. Heavier bars from 100 grams and up are poured in liquid form directly into a mold, giving the product an authentic, traditional, and robust appearance.
3. How does the unique Heraeus CombiBar work?
The innovative CombiBar is a unique product consisting of multiple small gold bars of exactly 1 gram joined together. You can easily break these individual elements off by hand along precise grooves. This grants you immense flexibility if you only want to sell a small fraction of your investment in the future.
4. What makes the Kinebar so special and secure?
A Kinebar is an exclusive minted gold bar featuring a patented, holographic security element on its reverse side. This visual hologram shifts colors beautifully under varying light angles. This advanced high-security technique makes it virtually impossible for counterfeiters to replicate the bar undetected.
5. Can I sell my purchased gold bars again later on?
Yes. Because the refinery holds the prestigious accreditation of the London Bullion Market Association, your precious metal is immediately tradable anywhere in the world. Furthermore, through our purchasing organization, Inkoop Edelmetaal, we always offer a guaranteed buyback option at a fair price based directly on the live global gold price.
