The 250 gram gold bar from Argor-Heraeus is one of the larger gold bars in our range. Due to its higher weight, the production cost per gram is lower than for smaller bars, making it a cost-effective way to invest in high-quality Swiss gold. The Argor-Heraeus 250 gram gold bar is a popular choice among investors thanks to Swiss precision and the strong global reputation of this producer. Argor-Heraeus is known for maintaining the highest 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 is delivered in a sealed 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 choose to buy multiple smaller bars of 50 or 100 grams instead of one larger bar.
The general rule is: the smaller the gold bar, the greater the flexibility when selling. The larger (heavier) the gold bar, the lower the cost per gram of gold.
The 250 gram gold bar from Argor-Heraeus displays the producer’s name, weight (250 grams), purity (999.9), and a unique serial number. This serial number matches the packaging, which also serves as the certificate of authenticity. The bar also bears the inscription ‘Melter Assayer’, confirming that its purity and weight have been officially verified and guaranteed by the Argor-Heraeus assayer. The 250 gram gold bar is a cast bar, produced by pouring molten gold into a mold.
Since its founding, Argor-Heraeus has upheld the highest industry standards. The company leads in responsible sourcing and certification and, in addition to LBMA recognition, is also accredited by COMEX (New York), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), and the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM). This underlines its reputation as one of Europe’s largest producers of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, with a refining capacity of 350 to 400 tons per year.
Argor-Heraeus is part of the Heraeus Group, headquartered in Hanau, Germany. The refinery itself is located in Mendrisio, Switzerland. In addition to investment gold, it also produces for industrial applications and can refine gold to a purity of 999.99.
