Smaller Weight Vintage Ingots From Around the World

Over the last several years, I’ve tried to add unique vintage ingots from various parts of the World. Today I’m going to share a handful of 2+ oz to 100 gram size pieces from various countries. Enjoy.

This came as part of a 4 ingot set (all 100 gram) in 1969. The EI is Engelhard International (Refiner), the Crown is the Sheffield Assay Office hallmark, the seated Britannia represents purity, and the B indicates year (unknown).

100 gram Morris and Watson piece from Australia. Not sure of the year, but this is a well done ingot with great lines.

Exceptionally rare S.R. Mitchell (Australia) ingot. Estimated mintage <5 in 77 gram class. This particular ingot is 76.2 grams and 2.45 troy ounces. One of the rarest pieces in my collection. Stanley Robert Mitchell, the founder, became a gold assayer in 1911 (significance of date stamp on ingot) and started S.R. Mitchell & Co Pty in the 1920’s. This ingot is likely a 1970s era piece. The company was believed to have been in business until sometime in the 1980’s era.

This is a really neat 5 Tolas piece with great toning and detail. Made by M/S Manilal Chimanlal & Co. out of Bombay, India. This weighs 1.88 troy oz. These are generally found beat up. I was fortunate to find such a pristine example.
Gorgeous design!
