Silver bullion bars
Number of products: 42Silver bars are the most cost-effective way to acquire physical silver — with no collector premium, no numismatic elements, purely precious metal in a standardised format. At GoldInvest24 we offer bars from manufacturers with LBMA accreditation — Argor-Heraeus, PAMP, Valcambi, Umicore and Heimerle+Meule — in weights from 10 g to 1 kg, each with an individual serial number and manufacturer certificate.
Every silver bullion bar in our range meets international fineness standards of 999 or 999.9 and comes from a refinery on the Good Delivery list. Silver bars stand out for the most favourable price-to-weight ratio compared to coins — especially at larger weights. Compare the available formats, check current silver quotations and choose the bar that suits your requirements.
What are silver bullion bars?
Silver bullion bars are standardised products from precious metals refineries whose value derives directly from the pure silver content and current precious metal quotations. Unlike coins, bars carry no face value and no legal tender status — their sole function is to precisely represent a defined silver mass in an easily verifiable format.
Two basic categories are available on the market — minted bars and cast bars. Minted bars are produced from silver strip, given a smooth finish and supplied in a certipack or protective foil. Cast bars are made by pouring silver into a mould — they have a characteristic surface texture typical for larger weights (500 g, 1 kg).
Why buy silver bars?
Silver bars are a format valued above all for price efficiency. Compared to bullion coins, bars offer a lower percentage premium relative to the spot price — particularly at weights from 100 g upwards. You buy a specific quantity of pure silver with no additional premium for mint design or issue history.
Silver as a precious metal simultaneously serves as an industrial commodity — with wide applications in electronics, photovoltaics, medicine and 5G technologies. This dual function gives silver bars a specific market profile that distinguishes them from their gold counterparts. A further advantage is the lower entry threshold — the silver price is a fraction of the gold price, making silver bars accessible to a broader range of buyers.
- Most favourable price-to-weight ratio in the silver segment — particularly from 100 g
- Precisely defined weight and 999 / 999.9 fineness with manufacturer certificate
- Lower entry threshold than gold bars
- International recognition of products from LBMA Good Delivery refineries
- Dual function of the metal — physical asset and industrial commodity
Popular silver bar weights — comparison
The table below compares the most frequently chosen weights of silver bullion bars. A practical starting point when comparing formats, production types and the price ratio of individual weights.
| Weight | Production type | Fineness | Typical use | Premium over spot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 g | Minted | 999.9 | Gift, starting point, small diversification | High |
| 50 g | Minted | 999.9 | Compromise: premium vs. one-off outlay | Moderate |
| 100 g | Minted / cast | 999 | Building a larger silver position | Moderate |
| 500 g | Cast | 999 | Favourable price ratio, larger position | Low |
| 1 kg | Cast | 999 | Maximum metal quantity per unit price | Lowest |
The larger the weight, the lower the percentage premium above the silver spot price. At the same time, a higher one-off outlay means less flexibility during partial resale — in such cases it is worth considering complementing your portfolio with silver coins in smaller weight formats.
Small bars (10 g – 100 g) or large formats (500 g – 1 kg)?
Small silver bars (10 g, 20 g, 50 g, 100 g) are a good starting point for buyers building their silver position in stages. Their advantage is a lower entry threshold and the ability to increase exposure gradually. The drawback — a higher percentage premium, which can be significant at weights below 50 g.
Large bars (500 g, 1 kg) offer the most favourable price-to-weight ratio in the entire silver segment. A format for buyers who can allocate a larger amount at once and prioritise price efficiency. The trade-off is reduced flexibility — when selling, you must dispose of the entire bar at once.
- 10 g – 50 g — low entry threshold, suitable for starting out and as gifts
- 100 g – 500 g — compromise between premium and one-off outlay
- 1 kg — best price ratio, format for larger purchases
LBMA accreditation and manufacturer certificate
Every silver bar in the GoldInvest24 range comes from a refinery with LBMA accreditation (London Bullion Market Association) — the international standard confirming production quality, precious metal fineness and control procedures. Refineries on the Good Delivery list include Argor-Heraeus, PAMP, Valcambi, Umicore and Heimerle+Meule.
Minted bars in smaller weights are supplied in a certipack or protective foil — featuring the manufacturer logo, serial number, weight and fineness. Cast bars in larger weights are marked directly on the surface — with an embossed refinery logo, weight, fineness and serial number.
VAT on silver bars
Unlike gold, silver bullion bars are subject to VAT. Silver does not benefit from the tax exemption applicable to gold bullion under Directive 2006/112/EC. The purchase price of silver bars therefore includes VAT, resulting in a higher final premium relative to the spot price.
When purchasing, it is therefore worth analysing not only the silver price but also the total cost of entry — including VAT and the dealer premium. For matters concerning your individual tax situation, we recommend consulting a tax adviser.
What determines the price of a silver bar?
The price of a silver bar derives from several components — current silver quotations on the international market, the USD/EUR exchange rate, the manufacturer and dealer margin, the weight and current market availability. The larger the bar, the lower the percentage premium — which is why 500 g and 1 kg bars offer the most favourable price per gram of fine silver.
Premiums on silver bars are typically lower than on bullion coins of the same weight — this is the main advantage of the bar format. It is worth regularly following precious metals prices and silver quotations to better assess purchase timing and compare offers across different weights.
Silver bars or silver coins — format comparison
Bars and coins are two complementary formats of physical silver. Silver bars stand out for simplicity, no collector premium and the most favourable price ratio — particularly at weights from 100 g. Silver bullion coins offer higher recognition, flexibility during partial resale and a wide choice of series from different mints.
In practice, many buyers combine both formats — bars as the portfolio core, coins as the flexible element. If you would like to compare both segments, check our silver coins category.

FAQ — Frequently asked questions about silver bars
Is it worth buying silver bars?
Silver bars are the most cost-effective way to purchase physical silver. Without a collector premium, you pay primarily for the metal. At weights of 500 g and 1 kg, the price-to-weight ratio is the most favourable among all available formats. A format for those who prioritise the quantity of precious metal acquired.
What weight of silver bar should I choose?
It depends on budget and purpose. Bars of 10 g to 50 g are suitable for starting out and as gifts. Weights of 100 g to 500 g offer a compromise between premium and one-off outlay. Bars of 1 kg offer the lowest percentage premium but require a larger single expenditure. Many buyers combine different weights in one portfolio.
Are silver bars subject to VAT?
Yes — silver bullion bars are subject to VAT. Silver does not benefit from the tax exemption applicable to gold bullion. VAT is included in the purchase price, resulting in a higher premium relative to the silver spot price.
What is the difference between minted and cast bars?
Minted bars are produced from silver strip, have a smooth finish and are supplied in a certipack or protective foil. Cast bars are made by pouring silver into a mould — with a characteristic surface texture, typical for weights of 500 g and 1 kg. Both types meet the same fineness standards and are accepted on the international market.
What does LBMA accreditation mean?
The LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) is an international organisation that sets quality standards for precious metals refineries. Refineries on the Good Delivery list have undergone rigorous verification of their production processes and quality controls. Bars from manufacturers with LBMA accreditation are recognised and accepted by dealers worldwide.
How to store silver bars?
Silver bars are best stored in a home safe, deposit box or another controlled-access solution. Silver is more susceptible to tarnishing than gold, so it is advisable to keep bars in their original packaging and avoid moisture exposure. It is also important to retain purchase documentation.
Silver bars or silver coins — what to choose?
Bars offer a simpler format and the most favourable price ratio — particularly at weights from 100 g. Coins stand out for recognition, flexibility and convenience during partial resale. There is no universally ideal format — many buyers combine both in one portfolio. Compare: silver bars and silver coins.
