Fortuna

Gold ingots in sizes from 1 gram up to 50 grams produced by the Pamp Refinery in Switzerland. The bars, depicting the Roman goddess of fortune emerging from a conch shell (the symbol of plenty), have been marketed in diamond, oval and pear shapes as well as the traditional ingot form. They have achieved substantial sales in the Middle East and have done much to widen the small bar market.
