10 oz Johnson Matthey Silver Minted Bar (with Certificate of Authenticity)

Johnson Matthey is widely regarded as one of the most trusted and recognizable names among LBMA good-delivery refiners. Founded in 1817 by Percival Norton Johnson as a gold assaying business, the company gained prominence when George Matthey joined in 1851, prompting the name change to Johnson & Matthey. Just a year later, in 1852, the firm was appointed as the official assayer and refiner for the Bank of England.

This 10 oz Silver bar represents one of the last newly produced Silver bars ever available from the world-renowned refiner, Johnson Matthey. For over 160 years, the company’s Silver bars and other precious metals products dominated the global bullion market. However, in March 2015, Johnson Matthey ceased producing Gold and Silver bars, selling its final two refining facilities to Asahi Holdings of Japan.

Today, Johnson Matthey no longer manufactures bullion and has transitioned its focus to becoming a leader in specialty chemicals, particularly in environmental technologies and automotive catalysts.

Despite this shift, Johnson Matthey bullion remains highly sought after. Known for their exceptional purity, weight, and craftsmanship, their bars are a top choice among investors and collectors worldwide.

• Contains 10 oz of .999 fine Silver.
