    This piece exhibits a blank reverse, where you'd normally see two tri-key logos. Swiss.

    Peculiar serial numbering (number of digits reduced with increasing serial number). Hang Seng Bank (Hong Kong)/God of Wealth, Royal Mint London i think.

    How see's what I see?

    I never noticed that Engelhard Australia used 2 different stamps for their 1oz Gold Buttons.

    See for your self.

    I would love your feedback and does anyone have more of one rather than the other?

    I think the one on the right in my pics is less common.
