PAMP — the refinery that examines other refineries
PAMP was founded in 1977 at Castel San Pietro in the Swiss canton of Ticino, a few kilometres from the Italian border. The plant processes over 450 tonnes of gold a year and is listed with LBMA Good Delivery.
More telling is something else: PAMP sits on the seven-member LBMA Good Delivery referee panel. Refiners on that panel assess applicants to the list and assay sample bars from other works. It is a supervisory role held by only a handful of producers worldwide.
The CertiPAMP pack carries the bar's serial number, the signature of an independent Swiss federal assayer and a QR code for verification. The seal is single-use — opening it shows.
The Hand of God — the design
The obverse shows the moment Maradona scored with his hand, with the inscription HAND OF GOD. The goal came in the 1986 World Cup quarter-final between Argentina and England; Maradona himself later called it the hand of God.
The reverse carries the PAMP logo, the weight and fineness, an individual serial number and a repeating motif of the number 10 — the shirt number Maradona wore throughout his international career.
A prooflike finish means a mirrored field and a frosted relief. At this size the effect reads only at an angle — and only while the pack stays sealed.

Frequently asked questions
How much fine gold is in this bar?
A fineness of 999.9 means that of 1000 parts of the alloy, 999.9 are pure gold. The metal content is effectively the same as the total weight.
What does CertiPAMP packaging provide?
It carries the bar's serial number, the signature of an independent Swiss federal assayer and a QR code for verification. The seal is single-use, so opening it shows.
Should the blister be opened?
No. Outside its pack the bar loses the link to its certificate, and with a limited mintage intact packaging affects the buyback price.
Is VAT charged on gold bars?
In Poland gold meeting the conditions for bullion is exempt from VAT under Article 122 of the VAT Act.
Do you buy this product back?
We buy back gold and silver. The buyback price follows the current metal quote and the condition of the product together with its packaging.
