Each 1/2 oz Argor Heraeus Gold Bar is available to you individually packaged whether you buy one bar or multiples.

Gold bullion bars are always a popular investment option, but become increasingly popular when modern stock markets stuttered and/or suffer big dips in value. Gold has long been viewed as a popular means of storing wealth without the risk of losing a large amount of money.

Obverse fields on the 1/2 oz Argor Heraeus Gold Bars include the mint logo along with important identifying markers. These include the weight, metal content, and purity of the bar. On this side, you will also find the assayer’s mark and an individual serial number. The Argor Heraeus logo consists of a stylized “AH” in the center of a circular logo with the full name of the refinery in a ring around the initials. The word “Switzerland” is inscribed below.

Reverse sides of 1/2 oz Argor Heraeus Gold Bars are typically left blank by the mint. As these bars are not intended as collectible or display pieces, the most important inscriptions and markings to have on the bars are only the weight, purity, and metal content as those are valuable to investors.

Minted gold ingots are produced by first creating long cast gold bars that are typically fed into a stamping press that cuts out bars into preset sizes. Each mint or refinery pursues its own production process though. In the end, all minted ingots have a more detailed finish with sharp, defined edges.
