Red List categories according to BirdLife International.
North America · Bald Eagle
The eagle with the white head
The insecticide DDT had made its eggshells brittle. When it was removed from the list, at least 9,789 breeding pairs lived in the 48 contiguous states.
The largest known Bald Eagle nest was 2.9 metres wide and 6.1 metres high. The oldest known wild bird lived to at least 38 years.
The Bald Eagle appears on coins from Gabon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and on a bar from PAMP. They are joined by eagle designs without a named species: private rounds without a face value from the USA and the Native Americans ounce from Cameroon.
Africa · Odyssey of the Sky
Martial Eagle and Bateleur
The Odyssey of the Sky of the South African Mint began in 2025 with the Bateleur, followed by the Martial Eagle in 2026. Each coin shows its face value as an R before the number, the symbol of the rand.
Australia · Wedge-tailed Eagle
The eagle with the wedge-shaped tail
Its tail is long and wedge-shaped, its legs are feathered down to the toes.
Europe · Spanish Imperial Eagle and Golden Eagle
The return of the Spanish Imperial Eagle
In the 1960s only 30 pairs of the Spanish Imperial Eagle were left; in 2020 there were 530 to 540.

5g Gold Bar PAMP America the Free – Bald Eagle: A Piece of Freedom in Pure Gold
When history, art, and wealth preservation come together, something special is created. That is precisely what makes the 5g Gold Bar PAMP America the Free – Bald Eagle so remarkable. On the obverse, the American Bald Eagle – the proud national emblem of the United States – spreads its mighty wings, carried by the finest gold in the world. This small masterpiece was minted by the Swiss heritage house PAMP (Produits Artistiques Métaux Précieux), which has stood for the highest minting artistry and flawless quality for decades.
- Investment objective: With gold bars, you protect your wealth particularly effectively against the gnawing effects of inflation.
- Wealth preservation: This bar is a reliable store of value that preserves and steadily strengthens the true purchasing power of your assets.
- Hedging: Especially in times of strained government finances, eroding currencies, and turbulent markets, you stabilise your portfolio with physical gold.
- Crisis protection: Small denominations like this bar reveal their true appeal as a means of payment or exchange when paper money falters – genuine crisis protection in a handy format.
The Design: The Bald Eagle – Symbol of Freedom and Strength
The Bald Eagle has been the official national emblem of the USA since 1782 and stands worldwide for freedom, courage, and independence. PAMP has created a worthy tribute to it in the America the Free series: with wings spread wide, the eagle soars in detailed relief above the mirror-smooth background. Every feather, every line has been crafted with the finest Swiss precision – a sight that makes collectors' hearts beat faster.
"Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants – but debt is the money of slaves." – Norm Franz

Why Small Gold Bars Are Such a Worthwhile Investment
The strength of 5g gold bars lies in their flexibility. Those who own larger bars must always sell the complete unit when disposing of them. With small denominations, however, the investor remains agile – you sell exactly as much as you currently need. This makes this size a clever building block for anyone who wants to build up their precious metals portfolio in finely granulated form.
Inflation? With Gold, You Face It Calmly
While printing presses around the globe run hot and savings account interest rates barely offset rising prices, gold remains what it has been for over 6,000 years: an incorruptible store of value. Unlike paper money, gold cannot be multiplied at will. Its supply is limited, its intrinsic value universally recognised. That is precisely why it is regarded as the classic inflation hedge – and precisely why even central banks have been consistently building up their gold reserves for years.
Tax Advantages That Bring Real Joy
A benefit not to be underestimated: investment gold is exempt from VAT (Value Added Tax) in Germany. If you sell your gold after a holding period of at least twelve months, the gains are generally tax-free. This means that what you have worked for actually remains with you at the end of the day.
PAMP – Swiss Precision Since 1977
The PAMP refinery is one of five Good Delivery producers worldwide accredited by the LBMA. Every bar is assigned a unique serial number and delivered on a tamper-proof blister card with an integrated certificate (CertiPAMP). This means you are not holding just any bar in your hands – you are holding genuine Swiss goldsmithing art in its finest form.
Whether as an entry into the world of precious metals, as a thoughtful addition to your existing collection, or as a personal gift with lasting value: the 5g Gold Bar PAMP America the Free – Bald Eagle combines aesthetics and substance in the smallest of spaces. A small piece of freedom that you can quite literally hold in your hands.
