jello_g Valued Member Canada 108 Posts	Posted 02/11/2021 3:37 pm Can anybody identify this silver bar? The sanskrit makes me believe it's from India or thereabouts. Dimensions: 43mm x 32mm x 6mm. Weight is true at 100 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/11/2021 8:17 pm @jello, looks like these silver bullion bars are sold by APMEX as "100 gram Silver Bar - India" and "Very unusual 100 Gram bars (3.215 Troy Ounces) . 100 Grams in Hindi and other characters are on this bar." Here is a link: https://www.apmex.com/product/61961...er-bar-india I can't quite make out the manufacturer though. Maybe "O.L.Mc.B"? Or even "O.L.M&B"?

jello_g Valued Member Canada 108 Posts	Posted 02/11/2021 8:54 pm Thanks Spence for the link to APMEX, that explains a lot. I showed these pictures to a south Asian coworker, and he confirmed the writing is Hindi, and believes these bars are trinkets sold at temples as lucky charms many years ago.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/11/2021 9:03 pm Ok good to know! I'm going to move this thread over to the bullion section of CCF and so you might get some additional replies from the folks there.
