Bluesfil Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 This is an Adelaide Assay Office (Australia ) Gold Ingot - this one is at the Royal Australian Mint and worth in the region of 600,000 to 700,000 Australian dollars. I think there are only 6 or 7 known to have survived. They were produced in Adelaide in the early 1850's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Fascinating - I wonder why this size and not a coin or a larger bar? Could they have been a made to order thing where they just smelted and formed a bar of a depositors gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
