Know the business

The useful overview.

The German storefront identifies its operator as Geiger Edelmetalle AG, domiciled in Rötha and registered at Leipzig under HRB 43929. This profile concerns that business and its manufacturing brand; another national sales channel may have a different contracting entity.[2]

Schloss Güldengossa, the castle represented on Geiger bars, was built in 1720. That is the building’s date, not a claim that the modern business has operated since then. The company describes a second historic setting at Espenhain: a former power-station control building adapted for production, logistics and management.[1]

The Geiger original Multicard example contains twenty-five separate 1 g silver bars, stated as .999 fine. Its square pieces carry the castle image and a repeating LEV reverse pattern. The product page describes a pearl-like surface, raised details, ribbed edges, UV-reactive reverse coating and individual security numbers. These are manufacturer-described features, not proof that an offered specimen is genuine.[5]

Noah’s Ark is an Armenian sovereign bullion-coin program, not a German state coin. The Central Bank of Armenia identifies itself as issuer and grants Geiger striking, advertising, marketing and sales rights. Its silver program uses .999 fineness and multiple weights. The sovereign issuer, private manufacturer and eventual retail seller therefore have different roles.[4]

Geiger also sells other producers’ bars, including Umicore, alongside its own products. Its silver catalog spans minted and cast forms and a broad range of weights. A Geiger shop listing alone does not establish that Geiger manufactured the item.[6]

Names & chapters

How the story developed.

  1. 2008

    Modern business founded

    In LBMA’s company interview, director Oliver Heuschuch dates the business to 2008 and names Adalbert Geiger as founder. The account links the family’s earlier silverworking background to Schwäbisch Gmünd.[3]

  2. 2011–2012

    Armenian silver program begins

    The issuer dates the silver series to 2011–2012, without establishing that every present size existed at launch.[4]

  3. 2017

    Square-bar series introduced

    The Multicard product account dates the square Geiger original series to 2017.[5]

The current company page calls the business family-owned. Publicly verified beneficial-owner percentages were not established. Its reference to production through a sister company is not treated here as a verified current legal group chart.[1]

LBMA’s historical interview records affiliate membership. Affiliate membership must not be presented as a Good Delivery accreditation for every Geiger-branded bar.[3]

What to explore.

Series names aid browsing; they do not establish live availability, investment returns or a premium recoverable on resale. Check manufacturer, metal, weight, packaging and exact version.[6]

Check the details

Before you buy.

Read the current item and checkout terms. These notes summarize dated company policies, not a promise about your order. Applicable consumer rights still matter.

Distinguish the retail branch from production

The company lists a retail branch at Schloss Güldengossa, Schulstraße 11, Großpösna, with advice, purchasing and collection of ordered goods. Check current opening hours and product availability before visiting.[9]

Checked Nov 5, 2026

Check destination eligibility first

The German FAQ permits private-customer delivery of taxed metals within Germany. Elsewhere in the EU it limits taxed products, including silver, to commercial customers with a valid VAT ID. It explicitly excludes shipping to private US and UK customers and generally excludes other third-country private customers.[7]

Checked Nov 5, 2026

Use the appropriate sales channel

Geiger directs excluded destinations to distributors. Its directory includes a US region, but a regional listing does not establish that every listed business sells to ordinary consumers or has a particular item in stock. Confirm the actual seller and its delivery terms.[8]

Checked Nov 5, 2026

Read bullion cancellation terms

The FAQ says market-priced precious metals are excluded from cancellation and that its cancellation form applies to accessories and copper. Do not assume an ordinary change-of-mind window for silver. Obtain the applicable contract before committing.[7]

Checked Nov 5, 2026

Separate buyback from returns

The company describes buying internationally traded precious-metal investment products, with inspection for authenticity and condition before payment. Its stated collection charge is €35 per €25,000 of goods; branch delivery is another option. Establish geographic eligibility, the binding quote and all charges first. Repurchase is a separate transaction, not recovery of an original collector premium.[10]
