Hi, I need some help identifying this bar which looks like silver but it has no markings.

The coin weights 31.1 grams or 1 troy ounce. It has also one discolored spot it looks like a milk spot on silver.

I am unable to see this as Malwarebytes blocks the links: can you upload the images to this thread?

It doesn't have the usual fineness marking--unless that's somewhere in the blurry fine print on the top image Guillaume posted--but it looks very much like the typical 1 oz. silver ingot beloved by stackers.

Dear CameraObscura, the photos on the silver bar are the same as that on the 1 Dollar banknote P37a (1966-1972), representations of Aboriginal art based on the work of David Malangi and others.

Coin collecting has a curious name. It is also called the "Hobby of Kings".

Does anybody knows the collectors value for this coin?

I have also found those on the internet, but not the silver coin/bar. Thanks.

Well, strictly speaking it's not a coin, but with that said: I doubt it has any collecting premium. I'd assume one would pay the going rate for an ounce of silver at the high end of the spread. Such ingots are very common with many, many different designs. What's odd about this one is the lack of (legible) fineness detail information, which is normally visible.

The design on CameraObscura's one seems very rude and I think it is exactly the kind of objects Chinese like to counterfeit, but this is just an idea, nothing sure.

@Guillaume Hermann thanks, I will check with a local dealer for authenticity.

That was odd for me also, thanks.
