Geiger Edelmetalle

Geiger Edelmetalle 100g boutique mint gold bar

The Geiger Edelmetalle AG is one of the oldest active private mints in the world, with a history that dates back to the year 1218 when it was established as a trading house for German silver merchants. Today the mint is a family-owned company producing a variety of fine bullion products made from gold, platinum, silver, palladium, and copper.

Geiger Edelmetalle AG maintains a strategic partnership with another private German mint called Leipziger Edelmetallverarbeitung AG. The partnership enables Geiger Edelmetalle to offer in-house production of unique precious metal products to its customers.

The company prides itself on preserving its historic German and European roots, as well as its commitment to environmental sustainability. For example, the company maintains solar panels and ecological water treatment systems at its facilities and in addition has sought to repurpose existing buildings instead of developing new plants from the ground up.

The company serves customers in more than 30 countries with the sale of quality bullion products, repurchase of precious metals, customized minting, and safety deposit boxes. The company also is the only German mint to produce legal tender coinage for a sovereign state—a silver bullion coin issued by the Armenian Central Bank.
