The three stamps across face are similar to those found on ingots from the wreck of the VOC East-Indiaman Geldermalsen except the stamps on this bar are circular instead of square. No markings on base or sides. Close inspection of the surfaces reveals minor evidence of being handled. Attractive pale gold tone with luster in the protected areas offers a pleasing appearance.
