Throughout history silver has been traded alongside gold and the value of various currencies including the British pound sterling where once directly linked to the weight of this precious metal. As well as this, silver is still widely used in many commercial, industrial and medical applications – ensuring its value for years to come.

First time buyers often ask: what is the difference between silver coins and silver bars? Apart from the obvious difference in appearance, there are some things to consider when it comes to choosing what type of silver to buy. Silver coins are generally sold as 1 troy ounce editions. A troy ounce is an original trading weight for precious metals and is approximately 31.1 grams in weight. These coins are produced by mints all over the world and are almost always legal tender in the country of origin. Silver bars offer more weight and are produced in a variety of larger weights including a gigantic 31 kilo silver bar.
