A Selection of International 1 oz Bullion Coins |
|
While not as valuable as their gold counterparts, silver coins have a romance and an attraction all their own and their value rises and falls as the price of silver fluctuates. With a cool appearance compared to the warmth of a gold coin, silver one ounce coins are a unique item for any collector, and there are a number on the market today that are worth looking at. The 1 oz Silver Britannia The proof version of the Britannia was released in 1997, and the coin came out in bullion form the following year. It has a face value of two pounds, and is considered legal tender in the United Kingdom for this value. It contains just under one ounce of actual silver bullion, and was produced with five different reverse designs. |

The 1 oz Silver Eagle Also known as 'American Eagles,' these silver coins are a popular and common collectible. The US mint produced approximately 165 million such coins, making them the most successful run of silver coins in the history of the mint. Further, they are still official coins of the mint and have a face value of one dollar. The 1 oz Austrian Philharmonic Boasted of as the number one silver coin in Europe, the silver Philharmonic is backed by the bank of Austria and carries a face value of one and a half euros. It is struck in 1 troy ounce of .999 silver, and was issued in 2008 following the immense popularity of the Austrian Philharmonic's gold coin, and proved similarly popular among collectors. The 1 oz Australian Silver Kookaburra Issued since 1990, the Silver Kookaburra is a one ounce coin that is legal tender in Australia and backed by the Perth Mint. The 1 oz coins are minted with a face value of $1 (Australian). The 1 oz Canadian Maple Worth $5 (Canadian) in face value, the silver Maple Leaf has been issued every year since 1988. It is considered a worthy collectible, often reaching a price premium in market value. Part of the reason for this is that while many coins have a 99.90% silver content, the Maple has a content of 99.95%. While this may seem like an insignificant difference to the layman, to the serious collector it can make all the difference in the world. The 1 oz Mexican Libertad Following president Vincente Fox's claim that the Mexican treasury's reserves were so bountiful he didn't know what to do with them, the government chose to issue a legal tender, silver 1 oz coin with a floating value that could be quoted at any time by the government. Bearing symbols important to Mexico's independent heritage and culture, this coin is a must-have for anyone with an interest in Central American history and society. The Chinese Silver Panda Originally minted in the city of Shanghai, the mintage was expanded in 1990 to Shenyang and again in 1999 to Shenzhen due to the popularity of the Silver Panda coin series. These .999 bullion coins are legal Chinese tender. |
