What Are The Best Silver Coins To Buy

Investing in silver coins is a popular strategy among both seasoned and novice investors. The tangible nature of silver, coupled with its intrinsic value, makes it an attractive investment option.

But with a plethora of choices available, the question arises – what are the best silver coins to buy? Here we give you the 6 very best options available in our store.

• Silver Britannia
• Silver Tudor Beast
• Silver Myths And Legends
• Silver Krugerrands
• Silver Maple Leaf Coin
• American Silver Eagle Coin

1. Silver Britannia Coins

Silver Britannia coins, such as the2023 King Charles III Silver Britannia stand out as a unique investment choice.

Since 2013 these coins have a 99.99% fineness (pre 2013 have a 95.8% fineness), and feature the renowned Britannia warrior on the reverse, making them recognisable and very liquid.

Advanced security features, such as surface animation, fortify the Silver Britannia against counterfeiting. Minted by the illustrious Royal Mint, this coin is a part of the Britannia series, which boasts a variety of gold and silver coins.

2. Silver Tudor Beasts

The Tudor Beast series, containing coins such as the 2023 Silver Bull Of Clarence serve as a welcome follow up collection to the esteemed Queen’s Beast series.

Each coin in this series is celebrated for its intricate designs, which also double as a security measure against counterfeiting.

Produced by the Royal Mint, the Tudor Beasts is a part of a series that includes multiple designs each representing a heraldic beast. So far, the range of Tudor Beasts are:

• Lion of England
• Yale Of Beaufort
• Bull of Clarence

3. Silver Myths And Legends

Each myth comprises 3 coins by the Royal Mint, each featuring a character from that story. The Myths and Legends series are 999.9 purity silver coins each featuring the design of a British folklore legend.

The first set of releases depicted the three main characters from the Robin Hood legend, with the follow-up set focussing on the story of King Arthur. The Robin Hood, Little John and Maid Marian coins from the first series are already trading at a premium due to limited-time issuance.

The intricate designs of each myth are a strong security measure for each coin. Take the 2023 Merlin Coin, the design features a beautifully engraved sickle, an owl perched on Merlins shoulder and the legendary Glastonbury Tor in the backdrop.

The beauty of investing in a series such as this, is that alongside the pure silver value you have the likely long-term numismatic premium that can come with holding collectors coins.

4. Silver Krugerrands

The Silver Krugerrand is a globally recognised and respected bullion coin. The 2023 Krugerrand, with its detailed design and unique reeding on the edge, provides a measure of security against counterfeiting

Minted by the Rand Refinery in South Africa, one of the world’s largest and most respected refineries, the Krugerrand is available in both gold and silver, the former metal being minted in a variety of sizes.

The design features the iconic image of Paul Kruger and the Springbok antelope, symbols of South African heritage.

5. Silver Maple Leaf Coin

Silver Maple Leafs are a popular choice among global silver bullion investors. Struck to 999.9 purity, each coin contains exactly 1oz of pure silver.

The 2023 Silver Maple Leaf incorporates several advanced security features, including radial lines and a micro-engraved laser mark it has become famous for since 2014.

Minted by the Royal Canadian Mint, known for its high-quality bullion products, the Silver Maple Leaf is a part of the Maple Leaf series and maintains a strong liquidity especially in the strong North American market.

The design features the iconic maple leaf on one side, and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth on the other. It’s expected that the 2024 edition will be updated to feature King Charles III.
