Heraeus Precious Metals Background

Available Gold Formats

Heraeus 1 kg Gold Bars

The 1 kg Heraeus gold bar is a standard larger-format bullion option used for documented physical gold transactions, allocation recording, and the selected delivery or third-party vault placement route.

This format is typically used where higher value per bar, clear transaction structure, and straightforward allocation logic are required.

Other Heraeus Gold Bar Formats

In addition to 1 kg bars, other Heraeus gold bar formats may also be available subject to current product availability, requested quantity, and the execution structure confirmed for the transaction.

Available sizes may include smaller denominations used for more granular quantity selection, mixed-format requests, and format-specific delivery or third-party vault placement requirements.

400 oz Gold Bars

The 400 oz gold bar is a large-format bullion standard used in higher-value physical gold transactions, wholesale-style allocation structures, and selected vault placement or delivery routes.

This format is typically used where bar efficiency, concentrated value per unit, and a stronger vault-oriented execution profile are required.
