Johnson Matthey can trace its origins back to 1817 when Percival Johnson opened a gold assayer building in London. In 1851, George Matthey joined the company. The company name was changed to Johnson & Matthey, and the following year they became the official assayer to the Bank of England. The company grew and became a top name in the precious metals industry. In 2015, they sold their gold and silver refiners to Asahi Refining. While Johnson Matthey isn’t continuously making Silver Bars anymore, they’re still a top option for investors and collectors.
