Technical Specification

Why the 5 g PAMP Lucky Scarab gold bar

The Lucky Scarab edition combines the full precious metal value of 5 g of .9999 fine gold with a motif referencing one of the oldest protective symbols in the history of civilisation — the scarab beetle. The 5 g weight offers a compact format with an optimal ratio of metal value to producer premium. PAMP Suisse — a refinery processing over 400 tonnes of gold annually and employing more than 700 specialists — guarantees the highest manufacturing standards and full recognition on the secondary market. The CertiPAMP packaging with assay card protects the bar while simultaneously confirming its technical parameters. The scarab motif gives the product universal symbolic appeal — in ancient Egyptian culture, the scarab (Scarabaeus sacer) was the embodiment of the god Khepri, and its image accompanied the Egyptians as a protective talisman for over three millennia. The bar maintains full market liquidity, identical to standard PAMP 5 g bars.

PAMP Suisse — Swiss Precision and Tradition in Precious Metals Refining

PAMP Suisse (Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux) was founded in 1977 in Castel San Pietro, Canton Ticino in southern Switzerland.

The refinery holds LBMA Good Delivery accreditation for both gold and silver, as well as the Responsible Gold Guidance (RGG) certificate confirming supply chain compliance with the highest ethical standards. PAMP is one of only five institutions participating in the daily LBMA Gold Price setting — alongside Argor-Heraeus, Valcambi, Metalor Technologies and Asahi Refining. The facility processes over 400 tonnes of gold annually and employs more than 700 specialists, making it one of the largest private refineries in the world.

CertiPAMP — Packaging and Certification

Every PAMP Lucky Scarab bar is delivered in the CertiPAMP system — a hermetically sealed card with an integrated assay certificate confirming weight, fineness and serial number. The assay card is permanently bonded to the blister, making separation impossible without visible damage to the packaging. The individual serial number is stamped directly on the bar and repeated on the card, enabling authenticity verification with any authorised precious metals dealer. Thematic PAMP bars (including Lucky Scarab) do not feature VeriScan technology — verification is performed exclusively via the serial number and the integrity of the CertiPAMP packaging.

The Scarab — Symbolism of Protection and Rebirth in Ancient Egypt

The scarab (Scarabaeus sacer) is one of the most recognisable symbols of ancient Egypt and simultaneously one of the oldest protective talismans in the history of humanity. In Egyptian mythology, the dung beetle rolling a ball symbolised the god Khepri (ḫprj) — the deity of the morning who each day rolled the solar disc across the sky, initiating the cycle of rebirth. The name Khepri derives from the Egyptian verb ḫpr — "to come into being", "to arise" — underscoring the scarab's connection with the idea of continuous transformation and self-renewal. Amulets in scarab form appeared as early as the Old Kingdom (c. 2686-2181 BCE) and accompanied the Egyptians through all eras — from the Middle Kingdom, through the New Kingdom, to the Ptolemaic period. Particularly significant were the so-called heart scarabs — placed on the chest of mummies with an inscribed passage from Chapter 30B of the Book of the Dead, intended to ensure a favourable judgement in the court of Osiris. Scarabs also served as royal seals, protective amulets and funerary gifts. The Lucky Scarab motif on the PAMP bar draws on this rich heritage, combining the ancient symbolism of protection, luck and rebirth with a modern precious metal form.

What to look for when purchasing

Before purchasing a PAMP Lucky Scarab bar, verify the integrity of the CertiPAMP packaging — the assay card should show no signs of opening, and the serial number on the card must match the number stamped on the bar. The Lucky Scarab edition has identical precious metal parameters to the standard PAMP 5 g bar — the only difference is the thematic motif on the obverse. The .9999 fineness and LBMA Good Delivery accreditation ensure global recognition and acceptance with precious metals dealers worldwide. The bar should be protected from moisture, direct sunlight and contact with other metals. Do not remove the bar from the CertiPAMP packaging — compromised blister integrity may reduce resale value.
