ingot

These specimens were claimed to be aboriginal, but whether the marks were cast or stamped in the ingot is not stated.

The Lydians began coinage by stamping with a punch each ingot or nugget of gold or silver, or a mixture of them called “Electrum.”

Steel-ingot production fell in the spring of 1919 to lower figures than had been reached in more than two years.

Sometimes the silver takes the bar or ingot shape, and is then termed Nen.

At intervals the steel is tapped off from the furnace and run into ingot-moulds, the same as with the other process.
