250 g Fortuna Gold Bar | PAMP Suisse

250 g PAMP Suisse Fortuna Gold Bar — 999.9 fine, LBMA Good Delivery, VeriScan with serial number

250 grams of 999.9/1000 fine gold (.9999) in minted bar form from PAMP Suisse — a Swiss refinery headquartered in Castel San Pietro (Canton Ticino), established in 1977 and accredited as LBMA Good Delivery. PAMP (Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux) is part of the MKS PAMP group and one of five institutions participating in the LBMA Gold Price benchmark. Each bar carries an individual serial number and is delivered in a hermetically sealed CertiPAMP package featuring VeriScan technology.

The 250 g format (8.03768 troy oz) is the largest denomination in the standard retail Fortuna range at which PAMP Suisse maintains the full minted bar standard — mirror finish, high relief of the Lady Fortuna motif, and CertiPAMP certificate with VeriScan. A quarter-kilogram of pure gold in a single bar delivers the lowest producer premium per gram across the entire minted series — fixed striking and certification costs are spread across more than eight troy ounces of metal content. Dimensions of approx. 57 × 33 × 6.9 mm — a distinct, larger footprint than the 50 g and 100 g models (47 × 27.2 mm), engineered to maintain optimal thickness-to-surface proportions at quarter-kilogram mass. The Fortuna series featuring Lady Fortuna is PAMP Suisse's flagship line and the world's most recognised motif on gold bars.

Technical specification

Why 250 g PAMP Suisse Fortuna gold bar

The 250 g denomination is the largest standard retail format in the Fortuna series, offering the lowest producer premium per gram of any minted PAMP Suisse bar. More than eight troy ounces of gold in a single unit means that fixed striking, CertiPAMP, and VeriScan costs represent a minimal fraction of the metal value. PAMP Suisse — as one of very few refineries worldwide — maintains the minted standard up to and including 1 kg, so the 250 g Fortuna bar retains mirror finish and full Lady Fortuna relief identical to smaller denominations. The 57 × 33 mm dimensions form a distinct footprint — larger than the shared platform of the 50 g and 100 g models (47 × 27.2 mm), engineered for optimal thickness-to-surface proportions at quarter-kilogram mass. PAMP Suisse processes over 400 tonnes of gold annually and is part of the MKS PAMP group. The 250 g format is the choice for buyers seeking maximum value concentration in a single minted bar with full certification and digital verifiability.

PAMP Suisse — from artisan refinery to global market leader

The history of PAMP Suisse begins in 1977, when a refinery was founded in Canton Ticino combining artistic bar design with the highest metallurgical precision — hence the name Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux. In just under half a century, PAMP grew from a niche workshop into one of the most important players in the global precious metals market. The Lady Fortuna motif became the most recognised image on gold bars worldwide. In 2003, the merger with MKS (Switzerland) SA created the MKS PAMP group. The Castel San Pietro facility processes over 400 tonnes of gold per year, employs more than 700 people, and holds the Responsible Gold Guidance (RGG) certificate.

VeriScan technology — digital fingerprint for every denomination

PAMP Suisse was the first refinery in the world to implement VeriScan technology — a digital identification system based on the unique surface topography of each bar. The free VERISCAN app (iOS/Android) enables verification with accuracy exceeding 99.99% — even through the sealed CertiPAMP packaging. For the 250 g format — with its high unit value — VeriScan technology is a particularly important verification element before and after any transaction. The CertiPAMP packaging combines certification and physical protection in a hermetically sealed card.

Fortuna series — denominations available at GoldInvest24

The Fortuna series is PAMP Suisse's flagship product line. Available at GoldInvest24:

Denominations from 1 g to 100 g utilise three footprint platforms — 250 g introduces its own, larger footprint (57 × 33 mm), engineered for optimal thickness-to-surface proportions at quarter-kilogram mass. It is the largest Fortuna denomination in the standard retail range — the 1 kg format, though also minted, is primarily aimed at institutional buyers.

What to look for

The 250 g PAMP Fortuna bar should be in its original, intact CertiPAMP packaging with a visible serial number matching the number stamped on the reverse. The free PAMP VERISCAN app provides authenticity verification through the sealed foil. Given the high unit value of the 250 g format, VeriScan verification before any transaction is particularly recommended. The 250 g PAMP Fortuna is fully minted — not cast — which distinguishes PAMP Suisse from many competing refineries at this denomination.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PAMP Suisse Fortuna series?

The Fortuna series is PAMP Suisse's flagship line of bullion bars, produced since the 1970s. The central motif is Lady Fortuna — the Roman goddess of fortune and prosperity. It is the most recognised motif on gold bars worldwide. The series spans denominations from 1 g to 1 kg.

Is 250 g the largest minted denomination in the Fortuna series?

In the standard retail range — yes, 250 g is the largest Fortuna denomination commonly available to private buyers. PAMP Suisse also produces a 1 kg Fortuna bar in minted technology, but that format is primarily aimed at institutional buyers and less commonly found in retail listings. All Fortuna denominations from 1 g to 1 kg are minted, not cast — a unique characteristic of PAMP Suisse compared to many competing refineries that switch to cast form at 100 g and above.

How does VeriScan technology work?

VeriScan is a patented digital authenticity verification system. A precision scanner records the unique surface topography of each bar during production. Buyers scan with the free VERISCAN app — verification works through the sealed CertiPAMP packaging.

How should a 250 g PAMP Fortuna bar be stored?

The bar should be kept in its original, intact CertiPAMP packaging, which provides physical protection and enables VeriScan verification without opening. Optimal conditions are a dry, temperature-stable environment. Given the high unit value of the 250 g format (over 8 troy ounces of gold), storage in a home safe or bank safe deposit box is recommended. The CertiPAMP protects the bar's surface from scratches and oxidation — do not remove the bar from its packaging, as a damaged CertiPAMP may reduce resale value.

Can the 250 g bar be verified without opening the packaging?

Yes. The CertiPAMP packaging is designed so that VeriScan verification is possible without compromising the hermetic seal. Opening is neither required nor recommended — a damaged CertiPAMP may reduce resale value.

Is PAMP Suisse LBMA accredited?

Yes. PAMP Suisse holds LBMA Good Delivery accreditation for both gold and silver. It is one of only five participants in the LBMA Gold Price benchmark — alongside Valcambi, Argor-Heraeus, Metalor, and Asahi Refining.

Is the 250 g PAMP Fortuna bar VAT-exempt?

Yes. Gold bullion bars with a fineness of at least 995/1000 are exempt from VAT throughout the European Union under Directive 2006/112/EC. The PAMP Fortuna 250 g bar has a fineness of 999.9/1000 and fully meets this requirement. The price shown is the final price.
