1 oz PAMP Lunar Rabbit Gold Bar

1 oz PAMP Lunar gold bar — Year of the Rabbit 2023

A one troy ounce gold bar at 999.9 fineness from the PAMP Lunar series, dated 2023 — the Year of the Water Rabbit. The format is unusual: a zodiac motif, normally seen on coins, placed on a bar.

Technical specification

PAMP — the refinery that examines other refineries

PAMP was founded in 1977 at Castel San Pietro in the Swiss canton of Ticino, a few kilometres from the Italian border. The plant processes over 450 tonnes of gold a year and is listed with LBMA Good Delivery.

More telling is something else: PAMP sits on the seven-member LBMA Good Delivery referee panel. Refiners on that panel assess applicants to the list and assay sample bars from other works. It is a supervisory role held by only a handful of producers worldwide.

The CertiPAMP pack carries the bar's serial number, the signature of an independent Swiss federal assayer and a QR code for verification. The seal is single-use — opening it shows.

The Rabbit motif and PAMP's Lunar range

The obverse shows a rabbit holding a carrot, seated beside an overturned basket of vegetables, with the Chinese character for Rabbit above. The reverse shows the same rabbit from behind — an unusual choice, since the back of a bar normally carries only technical markings.

The bar carries struck weight and fineness marks and an individual serial number. In the Chinese calendar 2023 is the Year of the Water Rabbit — the zodiac cycle runs twelve years, while the water element returns every sixty.

PAMP lunar bars are usually bought as an alternative to coins with the same motif: the metal content is identical, and the flat format stores more easily than a round coin in a capsule.

Frequently asked questions

How much fine gold is in this bar?

A fineness of 999.9 means that of 1000 parts of the alloy, 999.9 are pure gold. The metal content is effectively the same as the total weight.

What does CertiPAMP packaging provide?

It carries the bar's serial number, the signature of an independent Swiss federal assayer and a QR code for verification. The seal is single-use, so opening it shows.

Should the blister be opened?

No. Outside its pack the bar loses the link to its certificate, and with a limited mintage intact packaging affects the buyback price.

Is VAT charged on gold bars?

In Poland gold meeting the conditions for bullion is exempt from VAT under Article 122 of the VAT Act.

Do you buy this product back?

We buy back gold and silver. The buyback price follows the current metal quote and the condition of the product together with its packaging.
