10 gram PAMP Suisse Fortuna Gold Bar

This item is a PAMP Suisse 10 gram 'Fortuna' fine gold bar, encased in its original, sealed assay card. The bar displays a brilliant, highly reflective gold coloration, indicating its fine gold content. Physically rectangular in shape with precise, sharp edges and corners, it appears to be in pristine condition, showing no visible signs of wear, scratches, or damage. The bar is protected within a clear, rigid plastic assay case, which is itself sealed, likely to preserve its condition and authenticate its contents. The front of the gold bar features a prominent, stylized image of Lady Fortuna, easily recognizable by her cornucopia overflowing with riches, a classic design element by PAMP Suisse. Below this iconic image, the weight '10 g' and purity 'fine gold 999,9' are clearly marked. Further down, a square hallmark with 'ESSAYEUR FONDEUR' (Assayer-Refiner) attests to its quality and origin. A unique serial number, 'AA301960', is stamped at the bottom, providing an individual identifier for the bar. The assay card, visible around the gold bar, is a reddish-orange color with a textured finish, and it further secures the bar and contains additional authentication details, though these are not fully legible in the provided image. The overall presentation suggests a modern production, likely within the last few decades, manufactured to high standards typical of investment-grade gold products. The craftsmanship is excellent, with sharp details and a flawless surface, indicating careful minting and handling.
