They do need to start slabbing some of this type stuff or green bean it.

I have two bars like that with the mirror image on the back of the bar. Not sure what caused that. Clashed die?

"stacking" while still hot from the mold, stacking with force, or stacking really high so that the weight of the ones above, over time, causes the impression?

Is this?

Same effect with a different style bar. They may be less common than that illustrated by OP but not any more interesting to me.

Probably and imprint from the weight of stacking at point of production.

I like the transitional bars like those, Smittys.

But I think I like the poured loaf style better.

Here are a couple with interesting backs:

I've seen Johnson Matthey poured bars with the same thing on the bottom.
