It looks exactly like a authentic ounce bar but has a larger, laser cut serial number. The authentic bars from Credit Suisse have a stamped serial number in smaller numerals. Googled. Found these are gold plated brass or copper, mine was copper. They are called souvenirs. It is essentially a replica of an authentic bar, but to me is fraud because they are stamped “1 ounce pure gold”, with all the normal designs of Credit Suisse. I took mine out of its plastic case and scraped a tiny bit of the plating off one of the corners, revealing the copper. I’m going to use mine as a fishing sinker.
