Assay certificate and serial number - authenticity guarantee
The obverse of the bar features the Argor-Heraeus logo, weight (50 g), fineness (Au 999.9) and an individual serial number assigned to each piece. The surface is smooth and mirror-like, distinguishing minted bars from cast ones.
The CertiPack blister serves both as protective packaging and as an assay certificate - it contains confirmation of fineness and weight, a serial number matching the one on the bar, and the signature of the assayer responsible for testing the metal's purity. Opening the blister reduces the bar's market value, so we recommend keeping it in the original packaging.
Why buy the Argor-Heraeus 50g minted gold bar?
Gold has served as a store of value and a hedge against inflation and currency crises for over 5 000 years.

This is the optimal choice for investors building a physical gold portfolio systematically.
Argor-Heraeus is recognised at every professional bullion dealer in Europe, which translates into very high liquidity of the product on the secondary market. The refinery processes both primary gold (mine-doré) and recycled gold (LBMA Responsible Gold), meeting the highest ethical sourcing standards. Thanks to LBMA Good Delivery accreditation, bars from this refinery are accepted without additional verification at bullion banks, dealers and precious metals exchanges worldwide.

FAQ - frequently asked questions about the Argor-Heraeus 50g minted gold bar
How much gold does the Argor-Heraeus 50g bar contain?
The bar contains exactly 50.00 g of pure gold with 999.9/1000 fineness, equivalent to 1.6075 troy ounces. Bar dimensions are 28.50 × 49.70 × 2.00 mm; the CertiPack blister measures approximately 31 × 54 mm.
What is the difference between minted and cast bars?
Minted bars have a smooth, mirror-like surface and sharp edges, as they are produced by stamping from rolled strips. Cast bars have a rough, matte surface and are made by pouring molten gold into moulds. Minted bars are usually more expensive due to the more complex production process but look more aesthetically refined.
Does the bar come with an assay certificate?
Yes, every bar is packaged in the original CertiPack blister containing an assay certificate with the serial number, fineness, weight and the signature of the assayer responsible for testing the metal's purity.
Who manufactures the Argor-Heraeus bar?
The bar is manufactured by Argor-Heraeus SA - one of the oldest and most reputable precious metals refineries in the world, based in Mendrisio, Switzerland. The company is LBMA Good Delivery accredited.
Is investment gold subject to VAT?
No. Investment gold (bars with a minimum fineness of 995/1000 and qualifying coins) is VAT-exempt across the European Union under Council Directive 98/80/EC. This is a significant advantage of gold over silver or platinum.
Can I open the CertiPack blister?
We do not recommend opening the blister. A bar in the original, intact CertiPack blister has a higher market value and is easier to resell, as the blister confirms the authenticity and origin of the metal.
How liquid are Argor-Heraeus bars?
Argor-Heraeus bars are among the most liquid gold investment products in Europe. The brand is recognised at every professional bullion dealer and accepted without additional verification at bullion banks thanks to LBMA Good Delivery accreditation.
How do I store a 50g gold bar?
It is best to keep the bar in the original CertiPack blister, in a dry place away from moisture. For larger collections, we recommend a home safe rated at least S2 (EN 14450) or class 0 (EN 1143-1) - depending on the value of the gold stored - or an insured bank safe deposit box.
How does GoldInvest24 ship bars?
We ship bars in secure protective packaging via courier with full insurance of the contents. Orders above 30 000 PLN are also handled via secure value transport.
