Is this silver bar anything or just worth silver value?

Not sure if this is anything or just some homemade silver bar. Thanks for any input!

Is it 1.0 troy oz, or some other weight ?
It is definitely professionally made (not "home made").
The text is laid out too perfectly (and on a smooth arc) to have been punched one letter at a time.
So somebody had a single punch made specifically for that person's name.
This bar is likely very rare. It would be worth a significant premium if it was associated with a mine, refiner, assayer, or finance/banking in some way. But the premium is limited because "Arthur J. Areias" is none of those things (as far as i can tell). If you can find out who that is (or was), it would certainly add value if they were associated with the activities I mentioned already.
Thank you! I will try doing some more research to find out who this person is.
It is one Troy ounce-31.1g.
I don't know anything about the bar, but it certainly has a great look to it, let us know what you find out.
That's different and likable to
Pretty cool 👍

Tried a google image search and the only similar one I saw was a 3oz bar that looked like this:
That definitely looks like the same Eagle stamp. I'm guessing you have a match but who is Arthur?

That’s a good question lol. I tried googling that name but didn’t find anything in terms of bullion. Maybe this is a random dude who really did have a stamp made for himself? Maybe in case it got stolen?
Maybe some connection?
