Description: A silver ingot of uncertain date. The ingot is sub rectangular is shape and in cross section. Dimensions: The ingot is 15.94mm in length, 7.40mm in width, 4.22mm in thickness and 3.11g in weight.

It is therefore undiagnostic in date, although it is likely to be more than 300 years old. This object contains more than 10% precious metal and is over 300 years old. Consequently, in terms of age and precious metal conte…
