This is not a regular option but an argument to the export-options option:

  $ gpg --export-options help
  export-local-sigs           export signatures that are marked as local-only
  export-attributes           export attribute user IDs (generally photo IDs)
  export-sensitive-revkeys    export revocation keys marked as "sensitive"
  export-reset-subkey-passwd  remove the passphrase from exported subkeys
  export-clean                remove unusable parts from key during export
  export-minimal              remove as much as possible from key during export

Thus you want something like:

  $ gpg --export-options export-minimal --export 0x12345678



Salam-Shalom,
