DESCRIPTION:
1oz Series 1 Bar - Australia
2nd Series Australian bar, more reflective obverse surface finish. A keen eye will note the letter "G" matches that of the 1st series and that the stamping detail is more crisp. The matte finish reverse demonstrates two full hallmarks in an ascending diagonal pattern, characteristic of these Australian examples. Interestingly, this Engelhard Australia bar has a reverse 'Bull' Hallmark, with the semi-circle facing right, as opposed to the left-facing semi-circle associated with Engelhard Canada. We attribute this as a distinguishing trademark referencing the Southern Hemisphere.
