PAMP Suisse — Swiss Precision and Tradition in Precious Metals Refining

PAMP Suisse (Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux) was established in 1977 in Castel San Pietro, Canton Ticino in southern Switzerland. Since 2003, the refinery has operated as part of the MKS PAMP group, formed through a merger with MKS (Switzerland) SA — a company with traditions dating back to the 1940s. The refinery holds LBMA Good Delivery accreditation for both gold and silver, as well as the Responsible Gold Guidance (RGG) certificate. 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 over 700 specialists. The America the Free series is part of the extensive PAMP thematic line, which includes the Fortuna, Rosa, Lunar Legends, Diwali, Lucky Buddha, Good Luck Dragon and Lucky Cat series.

CertiPAMP — Packaging and Certification

Each PAMP America the Free: Bald Eagle bar is delivered in the CertiPAMP system — a hermetically sealed card with an integrated assay certificate confirming weight, fineness and serial number. For the America the Free series, the front of the card features a decorative American flag motif in Art Deco style, while the reverse contains the hallmark, weight and fineness declaration and the assayer's signature (Essayeur Fondeur). The assay card is permanently bonded to the blister, making separation impossible without visible damage. The individual serial number is stamped directly on the bar and repeated on the card. America the Free series bars do not feature VeriScan technology — verification is carried out solely through the serial number and CertiPAMP packaging integrity.

Bald Eagle — National Symbol of the United States Since 1782

The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is one of the world's most recognisable national symbols and a species with a remarkable conservation history. On 20 June 1782, the Continental Congress adopted the Great Seal of the United States featuring a Bald Eagle clutching an olive branch (symbol of peace) and a bundle of thirteen arrows (symbol of defence readiness). The choice of the Bald Eagle as the national symbol is attributed in part to Charles Thomson, Secretary of Congress, though the debate over the seal lasted six years and involved three successive committees — including Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. The Bald Eagle appears on the Presidential Seal, military insignia, federal agency emblems and numerous American coins: Gold Eagle, Silver Eagle, the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle and many other issues. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Bald Eagle population in North America declined dramatically due to hunting, habitat loss and the pesticide DDT. A turning point came with the enactment of the Bald Eagle Protection Act in 1940, followed by protection under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Thanks to decades of conservation efforts, the population grew from approximately 417 nesting pairs (1963) to over 71,400 pairs (2020), and the species was delisted from the endangered list in 2007 — widely regarded as one of the greatest conservation successes in US history. The Bald Eagle motif on the PAMP bar connects this rich symbolic and conservation heritage with a modern precious metal form.

What to Consider Before Purchasing

Before purchasing a PAMP America the Free: Bald Eagle bar, it is advisable to 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. Bald Eagle is a limited edition — once the mintage is exhausted, the bars are not reissued, which distinguishes the America the Free series from standard PAMP lines produced on a continuous basis. The precious metal parameters (5 g of 999.9/1000 gold, LBMA Good Delivery accreditation) are identical to the standard PAMP 5 g bar. The bar should be protected from moisture, direct sunlight and contact with other metals. It is not recommended to remove the bar from the CertiPAMP packaging — compromised blister integrity may reduce resale value.

Does the PAMP Bald Eagle 5 g bar hold LBMA accreditation?

Yes. PAMP Suisse holds LBMA Good Delivery accreditation for both gold and silver. The Bald Eagle 5 g bar is produced from identical precious metal and at the same facility as standard PAMP bars — the only difference is the artistic motif and limited nature of the issue.

What packaging does the PAMP Bald Eagle 5 g bar come in?

The bar is delivered in the CertiPAMP system — a hermetically sealed card with an integrated assay certificate. The front features a decorative US flag motif. America the Free series bars do not feature VeriScan technology — authenticity is verified solely through the serial number and packaging integrity.

Is the PAMP Bald Eagle 5 g bar VAT-exempt?

Yes. Gold bullion bars with a fineness of at least 995/1000 are exempt from VAT within the European Union under Directive 2006/112/EC. The PAMP Bald Eagle 5 g bar meets these criteria with its 999.9/1000 fineness.

What does the obverse of the bar depict?

The obverse depicts the Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) — the national bird of the United States, featured on the Great Seal of the USA since 1782. The Bald Eagle symbolises strength, independence and sovereignty. The motif also appears on American Gold Eagle, Silver Eagle and Double Eagle coins.

Can I remove the bar from the CertiPAMP packaging?

This is not recommended. The CertiPAMP packaging is an integral part of certification — breaking the blister seal may reduce resale value, as the buyer on the secondary market will be unable to verify authenticity without additional expert assessment. The assay card is permanently bonded to the blister and serves as a certificate confirming the bar's parameters.

What does the term Essayeur Fondeur mean?

Essayeur Fondeur is a French term meaning "assayer-smelter" — an official Swiss title authorising the refinery to guarantee the purity of the metal. PAMP Suisse is one of the few refineries in the world holding this title, confirmed by the signature on every assay card.
