A partial section of an ingot is typically referred to as a "slug.
" This term is commonly used in metallurgy and manufacturing processes, where ingots are often cast into smaller, more manageable sizes for further processing or fabrication. Slugs can vary in shape and size depending on the intended use and manufacturing requirements.
This has been standardized to be 1/100th of the original ingot.
The platinum slug is a polished, irregularly shaped metallic piece with a reflective surface, smooth contours, and slight textural imperfections, exuding a raw yet refined industrial aesthetic.
