Among the most iconic gold bar designs in the world is the image of Lady Fortuna, the Roman goddess of fortune. PAMP Suisse was the first refinery to introduce an intricate design like this to investment-grade bullion, setting a new standard for artistry in precious metals.

The Fortuna design holds the distinction of being the first detailed artistic rendering used on bullion bars. While coins often carried intricate imagery, gold and silver bars were traditionally limited to simple refinery stamps and assayer’s marks. PAMP Suisse transformed this by introducing the elegant Fortuna design.
On the obverse, Lady Fortuna is depicted in a left-profile portrait. She wears a laurel crown and a blindfold, symbols of fate and fortune. A flowing cornucopia rests atop her head, spilling a stream of coins into her open hands at the base of the design, representing prosperity and abundance.
Fortuna was a complex figure in Roman culture, tied to both good and bad luck as well as destiny itself. Her image on these bars reflects that enduring connection to chance and wealth.
The reverse of each bar features the essential engravings from PAMP Suisse: the refinery logo, metal content, weight, and purity, along with an individual serial number and official assayer’s mark, all arranged in a clean, horizontal layout.
PAMP Suisse, founded in Ticino, Switzerland in 1977, has grown into one of the world’s most trusted and respected bullion brands. Today, it operates as part of the global MKS Group headquartered in Geneva.
