Buy silver investment coins

Especially for investors who want to buy physical silver, we sell silver investment coins. These coins are particularly popular in Europe because silver bars are taxed at 21% VAT and are therefore much more expensive. Coins that also have the status of legal tender are much cheaper to purchase and are easier to trade because the coins are struck in lower weights.
 
You can buy new silver coins from the current year directly from mints in their original packaging. The most common investment coins are silver 1 troy ounce coins (31.103 grams). By far the most common coin is the Maple Leaf from Canada. This silver coin is struck in 99.99% pure silver and depicts the symbol of Canada: the maple leaf. Other popular coins include the silver Kangaroo and silver Britannia.
 
In addition to the 1 troy ounce coins, kilo coins are also available. These investment coins are significantly larger than the 1 troy ounce variant and are a good alternative to silver bars. The common coins in this category are the Koala, Kookaburra, and Lunar. These coins are struck by the Perth Mint in Australia and contain 99.99% silver.

Pre-owned silver coins

In addition to new silver investment coins directly sourced from official mints, The Silver Mountain also regularly offers silver coins from previous years. Coins purchased through distributors of recognized mints are often more expensive, partly because the coins must be transported to the Netherlands with insured transport.
 
Silver coins from previous years are purchased from individuals or through our sister company, Precious Metal Procurement. These coins are generally cheaper than silver investment coins from the current year because there are no production or transportation costs added. As a result, you can buy silver coins with the same weight and silver content as coins from the current year at a favorable price. You can find these coins in our pre-owned silver coins section.

Silver Dutch coinage

A good alternative to silver investment coins comes from our own country, namely Dutch silver coinage. Silver guilders, rijksdaalders, and ten-guilder coins are struck in 72% silver, provided the coins were struck before 1967. We package these coins in bags containing 1 kilogram, 2 kilograms, or 5 kilograms of pure silver. This way, you can invest affordably in physical silver.

Other silver coins

Over the years, many silver coins have been introduced. Due to the popularity of coins like the Maple Leaf, other mints have decided to launch similar coins. The most important factor in choosing among all available coins is to opt for a widely recognized coin struck in high-purity silver.
 
Additionally, you have the choice between various weights, mint years, and designs, including silver collectible coins. For a comprehensive overview of all options, we have developed a Selection Guide. The Selection Guide uses the most current data, from buying and selling prices to the current silver price, to calculate what is most interesting for you.

Silver coin bars

If you, as an individual, still prefer to buy silver bars, silver coin bars are a suitable compromise.
 
Silver coin bars resemble silver bars but have been given the status of 'coin' because mints have struck a coin into the bar. As a result, it has a nominal value and is not considered a commodity. Like coins, silver coin bars fall under the margin scheme, meaning VAT is only charged on the profit margin and not passed on to you.
