    Nice pieces those and probably not too many around. Westpac in the 1980's had grand plans of being a global banking player..."Australia's World Bank" they called themselves and started opening up offices all around the world and even wanted a stake in the bullion markets so bought into Johnson Matthey Bankers Ltd in 1986...thus the Westpac logoed blobs & bars. Post Westpac having a near death experience in the early 1990's, they sold non core assets including their stake in Johnson Matthey Bankers Ltd....No idea how many of these were made or what other sizes but there can't be too many circulating. I have a memory of one of these (could be more) be auctioned off on SS a few years back.

    Just a suggestion, but if you separate this into 2 lots, 1 with the pouch and 1 on its lonesome there may be more people get involved.

    As in I might consider bidding on 1oz, but I could not afford to buy 2oz

    Just my 2c
