Gold and silver bar production in recent years has skewed more toward refined, impressive designs. However, refineries such as PAMP Suisse are returning to the roots of gold and silver bar production by striking cast bars that have rustic, rough appearances. Right now, the 1 Kilo PAMP Suisse Gold Cast Bar is available on GoldInvest Mexico.
Bar Highlights:
Contains 1 Kilo, or 32.15 oz, of .9999 pure gold.
Bars feature rough, matte finishes.
Each bar includes an Assay certificate with matching serial number.
Individual bars available in sealed plastic.
Produits Artistiques Metaux Precieux is the full name of Switzerland’s PAMP Suisse refinery. Despite having produced precious metals for less than 40 years, it is widely regarded as the world’s leading bullion brand. While investors and collectors often look to some of its popular ingot designs, this cast bar remains popular among those looking to invest in high levels of pure gold.
On the obverse side of the 1 Kilo PAMP Suisse Gold Cast Bar is the corporate logo of PAMP Suisse. The corporate logo features four interlocking circles at the top, each with a letter from PAMP. Below the logo is the weight, metal content, and purity of the cast bar. An assayer’s mark and individual serial number are also featured on this side.
The reverse side of the bar features no engravings of any kind. All engravings on the obverse have a unique appearance, with each inscription stamped into the bar rather than engraved by advanced machinery. The serial number is particularly unique, appearing as though it was etched in with a sharp tool.
Despite the rustic appearance of the 1 Kilo PAMP Suisse Gold Cast Bar, it is produced using exceptionally high-quality finish that meets international standards of PAMP Suisse. These bars are refined and cast at the modern, state-of-the-art refinery in Switzerland, and approved by the Swiss Federal Bureau for the Control of Precious Metals.
PAMP Suisse was originally founded in 1977 as an independent refinery. Located in Ticino, Switzerland, the company is now part of the larger Geneva-based MKS Group. MKS is a global financial services and precious metals firm.
