Perth Mint Silver 5 Ounce Cast Vintage Ingot In Case 99.99% Pure 5ozt
Dimensions: 50mm * 35mm * 10mm

This is the first bar in a custom presentation case we've ever seen.
I worked at the Perth Mint in the mid 1990's, we would often have a cast 10z silver ingot on the shelf that was next to the till.
I can say thought that I never saw a 5oz ingot in our inventory at that time!
Bars like this have a real character look about them, and certainly feel solid in the hand.
We used to sell the 10oz bars fairly regularly as paperweights for people looking to buy a gift "for the person that has everything", which is a far cry from the emerging collector market these bars enjoy today.
I've seen one web page that lists each of the different types of cast silver ingots from the Perth Mint that the authors have seen, and while it is truly useful to see all that information in one place, I don't know that I agree with the "mintage" figures they've listed.
Bars like this may not be rare per se, but they are scarce relative to the mass-produced ingots you can buy today, and certainly have some character to them.
I have had one 5oz Perth Mint ingot of this type before, but have never had (or seen!) one in an original Perth Mint case before.
