Fortuna was a Roman goddess representing fortune, and personified luck in early Roman religion. The luck she would bring could be bad or good, and there was no way of knowing. In most depictions, Fortuna is featured wearing a blindfold, although some depictions show her with a veil over her face. Today, PAMP Suisse gold bars are widely considered the most popular gold bullion product in the world, and are recognized for their design and value.
On the obverse side of each bar is the depiction of Fortuna. Featured with a blindfold over her eyes, her outstretched hands collected a bounty of riches flowing forth from the cornucopia that sits atop her head. The reverse side of each bar bears engravings of the corporate logo, weight, metal content, purity level, and the individual serial number used to verify the bar’s identity. The assayer’s mark is also engraved on the bar.
These PAMP Suisse Fortuna 1 Gram Gold Bars feature the mint’s proprietary Veriscan technology to ensure the validity of each bar. The microscopic topography of each bar allows PAMP to issue each bar an identity as unique as a human fingerprint, which can later be scanned to verify the bar is a true product of PAMP Suisse.
PAMP Suisse was established in Ticino, Switzerland in 1977. Though not among the oldest facilities in the world, PAMP is nonetheless one of the most respected refiners of precious metals. The Fortuna design is unique to PAMP Suisse products.
