No idea.
Here are a few of my other favs:
<< <i>What's with you and perth mint? lol. >>
Aside from JM, they're my favorite producer of bullion. I like government made/backed bullion in bar form, very cool.
<< <i>it must be a rather tiny little bugger. >>
My guess, pure guess, is that it's probably just under an inch square. That would put it's thickness somewhere in the 1/4 inch range.
Would look really nice on a navy blue camelhair, double breasted blazer
Newer......... I am not sure how long these have been made though.

When I was a kid, I poured over National Geographics. Not for the naked bushwomen, but for stories of shipwrecks and treasure. There was an issue from the 1970s, I think, that focused on gold. There were images of an arabian fisherman, Dubai or someplace, stitching poured ingots like the Credit Suisse one from Cars' post into a vest so he could smuggle them across the border.
See? 30 years later and I still have that image in my mind. We're sick, I tell you. Sick!

Looks like they should go on toast or a baked potato

Who distributes these?

The Perth Mint is one of the only (if not the one and only) government mint that allows walk in customers to buy stuff directly from them. Including gold and silver bullion in any quantity. You yourself can order them from the mint and so can I. Currently there are about a half dozen or so on eBay. I've never seen them offered at any dealers website though. My guess is they are more common in Australia.
<< <i>You know, I really hate the Perth Mint web site. Seems hard to see/buy from. If these are for sale directly from them, does anyone have a link? >>
They have never in my memory sold bullion on their website. Your best bet is to call the Perth Mint. You may have to set up a account on the phone or find a distributor for the Perth mint that sells them. Calling the Perth Mint from the States seems to much trouble for me.

LOL- I thought I was the only one who did that
My favorite pic ever was one of a gold cross with emeralds in it - simply enchanting to a 9 year old
