What makes PAMP gold bars special?
Other than the fact that PAMP gold bars are created by a world-renowned manufacturer and are highly regarded, they also come with several other benefits that make them special.
Let’s explore these in more detail!
How are PAMP gold bars manufactured?
PAMP gold bars are meticulously manufactured with precision and expertise using state-of-the-art machinery. The process begins with sourcing high-purity gold bullion, which is melted and cast into molds to form the bar shape. After cooling, the bars are pressed with intricate designs, including the PAMP logo, weight, and purity details.
Each bar undergoes strict quality control to ensure it’s 99.99% pure. They’re then securely packed in tamper-resistant packaging and come with certificates of authenticity.
The different formats available
In short, we provide cast and minted bars.
Cast bars are produced through a process called "casting". This process involves melting gold and pouring it into molds to create various sizes and weights of solid bars. The famous PAMP seal is stamped on our gold bars, consisting of four circles with a letter spelling the word PAMP. Below the seal, important information such as the exact weight, purity level, and serial number is stamped along with the word "Suisse".
Minted gold bars are produced using precision machinery to create high-quality, standardized gold bars with intricate designs and a polished finish. GOLD AVENUE’s minted bars feature the iconic Lady Fortuna design, and we also have the PAMP Lunar Calendar bars featuring the Chinese zodiac signs.
Quality and purity of gold used
Our gold bars have a purity level of 99.99% and are manufactured by MKS PAMP Switzerland, a globally renowned gold refinery. Our gold bars are also LBMA certified, meaning they stick to strict quality and purity standards set by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). This certification guarantees that the gold is authentic, has its claimed weight and purity, and is of superior quality.

What is the price of a PAMP gold bar?
The price of a gold bar depends on the gold spot price. Since gold prices fluctuate daily, it’s a good idea to check the day's gold price before making a purchase.
To calculate the price of a PAMP gold bar, you can multiply the gold content by the current gold spot price and then add the fees, also known as “premium”.
