Heraeus 500 gram gold bar

The 500 gram gold bar from Argor-Heraeus is one of the largest gold bars in our collection. Due to its higher weight, the production cost per gram is lower than for smaller bars, allowing you to invest more efficiently in high-quality Swiss gold. The 500 gram gold bar from Argor-Heraeus is a popular choice among investors thanks to Swiss precision and the strong global reputation of this manufacturer. Argor-Heraeus is known for its exceptional quality standards and has been a leading name in the precious metals industry for decades. The refinery produces internationally recognized LBMA-certified gold bars containing 999.9 pure (24-carat) gold. Each bar has a unique serial number and comes sealed in a plastic package with a certificate of authenticity.

Argor-Heraeus has been accredited by the LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) since 1961 and is part of a select group of five refineries authorized to advise the LBMA. The LBMA is the international independent authority on precious metals, ensuring worldwide recognition and tradability of these gold bars.

When purchasing gold, it is wise to also consider potential future resale. Investors seeking flexibility may opt to purchase multiple smaller bars of 100 or 250 grams instead of one large bar.

The general rule is clear: the smaller the gold bar, the greater the flexibility when selling. The larger the gold bar, the lower the cost per gram of gold.
