+1

looks quality

 

[Topherclaus]

I would also reckon home made but I'm surprised we've not come across them in the past if they're this quality! Surely someone has got others?

 

[daviscfad]

Its pretty neat and really small.. I to think someone should have seen that branding on the bottom before

It might be home poured but the logo hallmark would have been expensive to make, certainly not something you get made for one or two bars.

Hence there must be more out there.

Australia Fair produced the Gold Biblical Shekels which were minted by The Perth Mint back in the 90's.

Most likely the same company,heres the insight

I emailed the company of the link aussie silver sent and they told me the bar was branded under the australia fair name, and was 1 ounce .999 as stated.. It was refined by the perth mint in the 1990s.. I asked for mintages if they had any, but havent heard back..

[daviscfad]

Heard back and they said roughly 500 made with no more than 1000.. most were sold to the US
