    I have this 1.35 oz Vietnam era / Indochina silver bar (approx 2 inches long). Can anyone help me identify it and/or translate it? Thanks in advance. I will follow this post with the engravings on the ends.

    Looks more Japaneese like a 18th-19th century Koban/Bu

    No, it is a Vietnamese silver bar. The surfaces look about like what I'd expect an authentic example to look like, but I would want to see it in hand to say for sure. Should be the same as this: http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=146340

    OK Arda, I was just stabbing in the dark. Interesting bars though.
