PAMP Suisse’s Reflections of America design series combines the renowned Swiss refinery’s precision craftsmanship and commitment to certified fine gold with imagery inspired by some of the American continent’s most recognizable natural landscapes. Each bar presents a carefully engraved scene that highlights the beauty and character of America’s wilderness against the warm appearance of .9999 fine gold.
Each 1 oz PAMP Suisse West Coast Kayaker Gold Bar available here is individually sealed in a CertiPAMP assay card. The card includes design elements that capture the spirit of the Reflections of America Series, with the front depicting the same scene found on the obverse of the bar. Each card includes the identifying hallmarks, such as the serial number.
The American West is one of the world’s great natural treasures, its vast landscape encompassing soaring red rock canyons, ancient forests of towering sequoias, glacier-carved mountain ranges, and the dramatic desert wilderness of the Colorado Plateau in a geographic diversity whose scale and raw elemental beauty have inspired artists, adventurers, and nature lovers since the first explorers pushed beyond the Mississippi. It is a landscape that seems almost designed to remind human beings of their smallness.
The obverse of PAMP Suisse West Coast Kayaker Gold Bars features a lone kayaker navigating a river as a snow-capped peak looms large in the distance. Kayaking in the American West offers some of the most exhilarating and scenically spectacular paddling experiences available anywhere on Earth, from the technical whitewater of the Colorado River’s legendary canyon runs and the Class V rapids of the Salmon River’s wilderness corridor to the serene, mirror-still waters of mountain lakes whose reflections of surrounding peaks create a beauty so complete and so perfectly balanced that paddlers often simply stop and float in silent appreciation. On the reverse, the bar includes the PAMP Suisse logo and identifying hallmarks.
