British Hong Kong Tael bank silver ingot, scarce 1960th vintage electrolyzed pure silver poured and die-struck bar type in excellent condition, considering the age. FREE SHIPPING WITHIN THE U.S. FOR THIS ITEM.
A hard-to-find original British Hong Kong era 1 Tael bank “old-school” poured silver ingot. These were produced in Hong Kong in the early 1960th utilizing what was at that time the state-of-the-art electrolyzed metallurgy process. The method produced silver that was nearly free of impurities. These bars were made in several “Tael” denominations; all were hand-poured and then die-struck on the top side. All denominations of these ingots are scarce since over time most of them got melted-down. I have a hard-to-find larger Two Tael ingot available as well; please take a look.
These bars were made in several “Tael” denominations; all were hand-poured and then die-struck on the top side.
