Gold, silver, platinum & palladium bars
Argor-Heraeus is probably the most renowned Swiss precious metal processor. The company is best known as a manufacturer of gold bars. The quality of the gold, silver, platinum and palladium bars meets the highest international standards and the bars are LBMA-certified, which makes them tradable worldwide without restriction.
In addition to classic minted bars and cast bars, Argor-Heraeus also produces kine bars, coin bars, coins and medals. In addition to gold, bars are also made from silver, platinum and palladium.
At Gold&Co you can buy or sell Argor-Heraeus gold bars in sizes from 1 gram. Of course, we also buy Argor cast and minted bars with the "old" ASA logo.
Our prices for Argor-Heraeus good-delivery bars are close to the gold price.
Argor-Heraeus has been an official member of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) since 1961 and, as one of five reference manufacturers, produces all products in Good Delivery quality.
Argor-Heraeus precious metal bars are among the most traded investment bars in the world. In addition to its own bars, Argor-Heraus also produces licensed and promotional bars for banks and mints. The origin of such "motif bars" can be recognized by the Melter & Assayer stamp "AH". The gold bars of the Austrian Mint, for example, come from Argor-Heraeus.
So if you notice a similarity between Argor Hereaus bars and Austrian Mint bars, you are right - as a former subsidiary of the Austrian Mint, all Austrian Mint bars are still produced by AH. Special note: On the back of the blister, the certificate bears the signature of the assayer from the Swiss hallmarking office who controls and guarantees the production processes and purity.
Argor-Heraeus is also the only refinery in the world to produce Kinebar gold bars. A kinegram is applied to the back of the gold bar by laser as an additional security feature. Tilting the bar creates a hologram-like optical effect.
The technology is proprietary, so kinebars are only available from Argor-Heraeus itself and from selected licensees.
Argor was founded in 1951 as a refinery in the Swiss canton of Ticino, before the joint venture Argor-Heraeus SA was formed in the 1980s through an investment by the German conglomerate Heraeus and the major bank UBS. The German Commerzbank and the Austrian Mint have also invested in the company in the meantime. Today, Argor-Heraus is wholly owned by Heraeus Precious Metals of the German Heraeus Group.
