The various plates and records referred to in the Book of Mormon and used in making it are (1) the plates of brass; (2) the record of Lehi; (3) the large plates of Nephi 1; (4) the small plates of Nephi; (5) the plates of Mormon; and (6) the twenty-four gold plates of Ether.
The gold plates that the Prophet Joseph Smith received and translated were the plates of Mormon on which Mormon and his son Moroni2 made their abridgment.
Mormon included the small plates with his record when he delivered the plates of Mormon to his son Moroni because their witness of Christ pleased him and because he was impressed by the Spirit of the Lord to include them "for a wise purpose" (W of M 1:3-7).

The resulting plates, such as the one below, carried dies substantially different from those used on other West Virginia plates (with features such as open 6s and 9s), and additionally the rectangular surface upon which the serial was embossed was raised slightly in relation to the rest of the plate.
The plates actually expiring in 1976, of course, were the previous blue on gold plates with yellow and green "1976" stickers.

Valuable records of a religious council were written on metal plates under the direction of a king who, according to tradition, also played a role in the preservation of the existing canon of Buddhist scripture.
In addition to the mention of writings on metal plates hidden in a box, similar to Book of Mormon concepts, the story also resonates with the general LDS themes of preserving scripture, and concern over conflicting sects and interpretations introduced by men long after the original doctrines were provided.

The shape of the rings and their observation by eye-witnesses can best be explained by the hypothesis that there were actual gold plates made by actual experts in plate-based writing systems that were seen by actual witnesses.
