When you purchase the 1 Kilo Silver Cast Bar from Argor-Heraeus that is available in this product listing at Provident Metals, the item you receive comes in brand-new condition. The bars are all individually packaged, even if you purchase multiples.

Obverse

On the obverse field of 1 Kilo Silver Cast Bars are all of the markings you can expect to find. These are arranged down the vertical face of the bars design field with the Argor-Heraeus logo at the top. The logo includes two circles with the AH initials of the mint in the central circle and the words Argor Heraeus SA in the ring around this central circle. The weight, metal content, and purity are marked as 1 Kilo Fine Silver 999. There is also an assayers mark on this side with a unique serial number for the bar that is listed in a one-letter, five number code.

Reverse

The reverse side of the 1 Kilo Silver Cast Bar comes with a blank field. While you will not find any purpose-struck design elements, this face of the bar may deliver its own visual appeal as it is possible for striations and other lines to be visible. These formed as a result of the poured silver cooling in the prefabricated mold the bar was shaped in.

History

Cast silver bars represent a historic means of producing silver bars and other precious metal bars of this type. The metal is first melted down and then poured into prefabricated molds made from heat-resistant materials. The bars are often left to cool inside of the mold, sometimes full enclosed and other times just left open to the air. Cast silver bars typically have designs on just one side that are struck incuse. An incuse design strike features elements and text sunk into the surface of the bar rather than raised on its surface in 3D relief.
