It could be genuine or it could be just a base metal.
25 years experience appraising jewelry items has taught me this.

Silver Hallmarks
this thread. Very helpfull information provided
by OPA. Thanks !!!
Take it to a coin shop or jewler or " we rip gold " joint.
They all will have a bottle of gold test acid ( nitric acid ).
Just have them put a drop on the bar....
If it stains blackish, it is most likely 80% silver ....
If it bubbles green ... it is most likely 80% copper.
Let us know!!

Before you do the acid test, make sure that you nick the test location with a jeweler's file or stone to break through any silver plating which is sometimes added to a fake bar to defeat the acid test and to give the bar the proper look of real silver.

Thanks OPA for the site - I bookmarked it for future reference.

Nice!
Using Google translate you will find that silver in korean comes out with the symbol by the 80%.
