2026 Silver Bullion Coins

What is Bullion?

What is Bullion? Bullion refers to precious metals like gold and silver, valued primarily for their weight and purity. It’s typically bought as coins or bars and traded close to its intrinsic metal value. This is irrespective of the coin's condition, unlike proofs and uncirculated products, that may have a value above the intrinsic price. 

World Silver Bullion

There are now many countries which issue silver bullion coins, many are countries where silver is mined, and these mainly issue silver bullion coins every year, and there are other countries which make the occasional silver bullion issue.

This has added to the diversity of different designs available to the collector, and also means that the various mints have begun to compete by offering more choice of design. The Australian Kookaburra series, for example, feature a different design each year, but always based on the kookaburra, a distinctive native bird.

Great Britain started to produce their silver Britannia bullion coin in 1997 following the ten year success with the gold Britannia. Strangely enough, the 1997 version is only available in a proof finish, which rather contradicts its status as a bullion coin, but it is very attractive and is available in a standard uncirculated bullion version in subsequent years.
