1 Kilogram Fiji Silver Coin Bar Argor-Heraeus — Hybrid Bullion Product in 999 Fine Silver
1 kg Fiji Silver Coin Bar Argor-Heraeus is a rare hybrid product combining the characteristics of a classic refined silver bar with an official denomination issued by the island nation of Fiji. Made from 999 fine silver weighing exactly 1000 grams (32.15 troy ounces), it originates from the renowned Swiss refinery Argor-Heraeus — founded in 1951 in Mendrisio, with over 70 years of history in the precious metals industry. The specimen available at GoldInvest24 has damaged outer packaging, which has no impact on the silver content or authenticity.
Products combining the form of a coin with the shape of a bar — known as coin bars — occupy a special niche in the precious metals market. On one hand they carry an official legal tender status granted by the government of Fiji; on the other, they meet Argor-Heraeus industrial standards for purity and marking. For buyers accumulating physical silver in larger quantities, this is an interesting alternative to conventional silver bullion bars.
Argor-Heraeus — Swiss Precious Metals Refinery with LBMA Accreditation
Argor-Heraeus is one of the most prestigious precious metals refineries in the world. Based in Mendrisio in the canton of Ticino, it is a full member of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) — meaning its products meet the stringent Good Delivery standards recognised on global markets. The company's history goes back to 1951. Today Argor-Heraeus processes thousands of tonnes of precious metals annually and works with central banks, state mints and commercial entities on every continent.
Cooperation with island nations — such as Fiji, Niue and Tuvalu — enabled the creation of unique hybrid series. These products combine the prestige of the producer (Argor-Heraeus) with the official legitimacy of the issuer (Fiji), making them appealing to both collectors and precious metals buyers seeking format diversification.
Obverse of the 1 kg Fiji Silver Coin Bar
The obverse of the Fiji Argor-Heraeus silver coin bar features a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II — the traditional motif used on coins issued by Commonwealth of Nations member states in previous decades. The profile portrait, executed with the precision typical of Commonwealth issues, is surrounded by an inscription bearing the coin's denomination and the name of the issuing country. The obverse also displays the year of issue, allowing unambiguous identification of the vintage.
The obverse design draws on the centuries-long numismatic tradition of the Pacific and the Commonwealth. Each piece carries a stamped unique serial number and the Argor-Heraeus maker's mark as authenticity proofs. The careful rendering of the portrait and inscriptions is characteristic of all products from this Swiss refinery.
Reverse of the 1 kg Fiji Silver Coin Bar
The reverse displays the manufacturer's logo — Argor-Heraeus — together with the key technical markings: weight (1000 g or the equivalent in troy ounces), silver fineness (Ag 999), country of issue and year of production. The graphic layout is minimalist and legible — characteristic of Swiss bullion refineries that prioritise clarity over ornamentation.
The reverse contains all information needed for quick product verification by any buyer or dealer. The markings comply with LBMA traceability requirements for bullion products — enabling easy valuation and acceptance on global markets. Each piece bears the manufacturer's identification stamp (the so-called assay mark), confirming that a purity test was performed.
Technical Specification — 1 kg 999 Fine Silver
The coin bar weighs exactly 1000 grams, equivalent to 32.15 troy ounces of 999 fine silver. Dimensions are similar to those of standard 1 kg silver bars — a relatively flat format that facilitates storage of larger silver quantities. The product meets LBMA Good Delivery requirements for silver in terms of minimum fineness (999.0) and mandatory marking.
The 1 kg weight (32.15 oz t) makes this product a cost-efficient way to acquire physical silver in a single transaction. The premium above spot price for kilogram products is typically lower than for 1 oz coins — making them an attractive option for regular silver buyers. Current silver prices can be tracked at the GoldInvest24 precious metals prices page.
LBMA Accreditation — Argor-Heraeus Quality Guarantee
Owning a product from a refinery with full LBMA accreditation provides important reassurance about the purity and traceability of the metal. The London Bullion Market Association sets the standards for the global gold and silver market — and only refineries meeting its strict requirements can be listed on the Good Delivery list. Argor-Heraeus has maintained this accreditation for decades, which is an unambiguous indicator of consistently high production quality.
For buyers, this translates into concrete benefits: Argor-Heraeus products are recognised and purchased by dealers worldwide — without the need for additional purity testing. LBMA accreditation is effectively a passport for the product on the global precious metals market.
Silver Purity and Product Status
The coin bar is made from silver with a fineness of 999 — a standard widely used by reputable bullion refineries. For comparison: some silver coins (e.g. American Eagle) also carry 999 fineness, while Canadian Maple Leaf series offer 999.9 purity. Argor-Heraeus maintains 999 as the minimum standard for its serial products, in line with LBMA Good Delivery requirements for silver.
