Technical specification

Why 5 g PAMP Suisse Cross of Christianity gold bar

The PAMP Suisse Cross of Christianity bar combines full bullion specification — 999.9 gold, LBMA accreditation, CertiPAMP with assay certificate — with a religious motif of universal significance. The 5 g format offers a low entry threshold while retaining all minted characteristics — mirror finish, individual serial number, hermetically sealed CertiPAMP packaging.

PAMP Suisse — artistry and precision in precious metals refining

The history of PAMP Suisse begins in 1977 in Canton Ticino (Switzerland), where a refinery was founded combining metallurgical precision with artistic bar design — hence the name Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux. Alongside the flagship Fortuna series, PAMP creates thematic lines featuring religious, cultural, and annual motifs — including the Cross of Christianity. 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 and holds the Responsible Gold Guidance (RGG) certificate.

Cross motif — symbolism and execution

The Cross is the oldest and most recognised symbol of Christianity. PAMP Suisse renders this motif on the obverse as an artistic relief composition with characteristic Swiss precision. The obverse features the Cross motif, PAMP Suisse logo, fineness marking (999.9), and weight (5 g). The 5 g format (approx. 14 × 24 mm) in portrait orientation corresponds to the proportions of the Cross motif, ensuring optimal exposition of the religious symbol on the bar surface.

CertiPAMP — packaging and certification

The bar is delivered in a hermetically sealed CertiPAMP blister that serves as both protective packaging and assay certificate — confirming weight (5 g), fineness (999.9/1000), serial number matching the bar, and assayer's signature. An intact CertiPAMP blister guarantees product authenticity.
