Good-Delivery standard bars
Good delivery gold bars are bars that are produced by LMBA-certified manufacturers. The 400-ounce Good Delivery standard bars have an absolute weight of 12,441.4 g and are used by governments, banks and major investors to trade gold internationally.
The fine gold bars from the German refinery C.HAFNER from Pforzheim consist of 100% recycled old gold ("secondary gold"), which makes them ecologically and ethically harmless. C.HAFNER also has the Good Delivery Status of the London Bullion Market Association and all gold bars are LBMA certified.
Apart from the packaging, HAFNER ingots are the only ingots in the world with a surface structure that makes any unnoticed subsequent manipulation easily recognizable. Once damaged, the matt or ribbed surface of the cast and embossed ingots is impossible to restore without being noticed.
Gold bars as a crisis-proof investment
Precious metals (gold and silver) in the form of coins and bars have been used as a means of exchange and payment for 4000 years. In all this time, they have not suffered any material loss of value or significance.
Today, gold bars made of fine gold are used as a financial investment that can be easily traded. Above all, they are regarded as a crisis-proof store of value. Modern gold coins and gold bars are stamped with the characteristics of weight in grams, fineness and the manufacturer. However, a nominal value is not specified, as is usual for gold coins and silver coins.
