Silver as a physical commodity

Gold is not the only precious metal we trade. Silver is traded internationally in its own right, with its own purity conventions, its own demand profile and its own logistics considerations.

The most practical difference for buyers is value density. Silver carries far less value per unit of weight than gold, so a given transaction value occupies more space and weighs more. Freight, insurance and storage therefore form a larger part of the commercial discussion.

Silver product forms

Silver Bars
Silver bullion products according to available specifications, in cast or minted formats.
Silver Bullion
Physical silver bullion for qualified buyers, valued on metal content and fineness.
Wholesale Silver
Commercial silver supply for buyers seeking larger quantities or recurring requirements.

Purity & assay

Purity conventions in silver

Investment silver is commonly produced at 999 fineness, with 999.9 used where higher purity is required. Sterling silver at 925 is a jewellery and tableware standard rather than a bullion grade.

As with gold, markings on a bar are a claim by the producer. Weight, dimensions and, where required, assay information establish what the material actually contains.

Documentation

Documentation and export

Silver moving internationally requires product, commercial and export documentation appropriate to the destination, reviewed at the enquiry stage.

Larger physical volumes make packaging, routing and insurance decisions more consequential than they are for equivalent value in gold.

International silver transactions

Buyers state the product form, purity, quantity and destination. We confirm what can be supplied, how it will be verified and what documentation applies.
