Johnson Matthey Fine Silver 999 1 Ounce Bar
Johnson Matthey 1 Ounce Troy Fine Silver 999 Bar
This 1 ounce troy bar is a classic example of fine silver bullion from the world-renowned refiner Johnson Matthey. The obverse of the bar prominently features the JM logo with crossed hammers, the full company name, and the official assayer and refiner stamp. It clearly displays its purity of .999 fine silver and the confirmed weight of 1 ounce troy. The reverse showcases a repeating diagonal JM logo and hammer pattern. This vintage bar is highly collectible due to Johnson Matthey having ceased their silver refining operations, making their legacy bars a staple for any serious silver investor or numismatist. The bar exhibits sharp strikes and maintains its original metallic luster with minimal toning.
Johnson Matthey 1 Ounce Troy Fine Silver 999 Bar
Condition: The bar is in circulated bullion condition, exhibiting visible toning and golden-brown oxidation along the edges and within the recessed areas of the design. Surface contact marks, small scratches, and minor rim dings are present, which are typical for secondary market silver bars. The strike remains sharp, and the repeating JM logo pattern on the reverse is clearly defined despite the surface patina. It is ungraded and presented in raw condition.
Mint: Johnson Matthey
Metal Content: .999 Fine Silver
Historical Context: Johnson Matthey is one of the most recognized names in precious metals, with a history dating back to 1817. While the company sold its gold and silver refining business to Asahi Holdings in 2015, these vintage bars remain highly collectible among investors and numismatists for their reputation and legacy.
