Selection
Top 5 Silver Investments
Five silver products chosen for the lowest premiums per ounce, reliable resale and recognition across European and international markets.
The Selection
LBMA certified refiners
1 kg Silver Bar
The reference format for accumulating silver weight. A kilo bar carries a far smaller premium than the equivalent in coins and stacks compactly, which matters once holdings reach several kilos.
- Lowest premium per ounce
- Stacks efficiently
- 999 fine silver
- Traded on every major market
Royal Canadian Mint
1 oz Silver Maple Leaf
At 999.9 fineness it is the purest mass-minted silver coin available. The mint's MintShield surface treatment was developed specifically to suppress the milk spotting that affects fine silver over time.
- 999.9 fine silver
- MintShield anti-tarnish finish
- Canadian legal tender
- Steady collector demand
The Royal Mint
1 oz Silver Britannia
The silver counterpart to the gold Britannia, struck in 999 fine silver with the same layered security features. Being UK legal tender, it is free of British capital gains tax for UK residents.
- CGT exempt for UK residents
- Surface animation and micro-text
- 999 fine silver
- Deep European secondary market
United States Mint
1 oz American Silver Eagle
The highest-volume silver bullion coin in the world, backed by the US government for weight and purity. Demand is strong enough that it usually resells quickly, though that same demand keeps its premium above the bar formats.
- Highest trading volume of any silver coin
- US legal tender, weight guaranteed
- 999 fine silver
- Sells on quickly
LBMA certified refiners
100 oz Silver Bar
The industry standard for larger holdings and the cheapest route to silver per ounce. Sold as a single unit, it suits vault storage rather than home storage and is best left in professional custody.
- Lowest cost per ounce
- Recognised trade standard
- Individually serialised
- Suited to vault storage
