Neatly formed silver bar from the Rooswijk (1739), 1967 grams (63.25 oz. troy), marked with A (Amsterdam) and VOC (Dutch East India Co.) and billy goat (assayer/foundry mark). About 6-1/4" x 1-1/2" x 1-1/4". Very tidy and clean ingot with very bold markings, one end typically cut (to fine-tune the weight) and with deep depression inside which some orange encrustation now resides, the perfect preservation of the ingot due to the fact that it was neatly cast and tightly packed into a chest that remained intact. From the Rooswijk (1739), with certificate and tag #RK05AS0335.
