LEV Leipziger Edelmetallverarbeitung — a German bullion producer with a Saxon silver heritage
LEV Leipziger Edelmetallverarbeitung is a German manufacturer and processor of precious metals based in Espenhain near Leipzig (Saxony). The company has been operating since 1990 and has been part of the Geiger Edelmetalle group since 2018. LEV produces the full range of bullion products — bars, coins and medals — in gold, silver, platinum and palladium, using exclusively feedstock from refineries accredited to the LBMA Good Delivery standard.
History and location — Leipzig and the Saxon metal tradition
LEV was founded in 1990, during the period of change in eastern Germany, and from the start specialised in the professional processing of precious metals. The plant is located in Espenhain in the Leipzig region — part of Saxony, an area connected with metalworking for centuries.
The region lies within the reach of the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge), where silver was already being mined and smelted in the Middle Ages. Historians note that the first documented silver trade on German soil developed in this area as early as 1218. LEV builds on this centuries-old metallurgical tradition, combining it with a modern production facility.
The integration of LEV into the Geiger Edelmetalle group in 2018 strengthened the company's position — Geiger is a well-known German precious-metals house with Güldengossa Castle as its seat, and combining the production capacities of both entities made Leipzig one of the more important centres of bullion manufacturing in Germany.
What LEV produces — gold, silver, platinum and palladium
LEV offers the full range of services of a modern precious-metals manufactory: from product design, through the preparation of dies and moulds, to final production. The portfolio includes bullion bars (minted and cast), circulation coins for foreign issuers and commemorative medals.
The company processes four precious metals — gold, silver, platinum and palladium — serving private customers as well as institutional buyers and other bullion dealers. LEV bars are minted with individual marking, fineness and weight, and selected series are supplied with a manufacturer's certificate.
Noah's Ark — LEV's flagship coin and legal tender of Armenia
LEV's best-known product is the Noah's Ark series — gold and silver bullion coins minted for the Republic of Armenia, for which they are legal tender. The motif refers to the biblical Noah's Ark and Mount Ararat, which is deeply rooted in Armenian tradition and identity.
The silver Noah's Ark is among the popular bullion coins in Europe — struck in 999 fineness in various weights, from one ounce to larger formats. The gold version in 999.9 fineness is aimed at buyers looking for a bullion coin with a low premium over the metal value. The annual update of the date also makes the series interesting for collectors of successive issues.
Quality and material sourcing — exclusively LBMA Good Delivery
LEV sources feedstock exclusively from suppliers accredited by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) to the Good Delivery standard. This is the highest industry standard for fineness, weight and traceability of the metal, guaranteeing that every product is made from metal of confirmed origin and quality.
For the buyer this means good liquidity — products made from LBMA material are recognised and accepted by bullion dealers worldwide. LEV combines this standard with German manufacturing precision and quality control at every stage of the process.
