Silver has been treasured for millennia, valued for its beauty, versatility, and enduring role as a store of wealth. Today, silver bullion offers investors a more affordable entry point into precious metals than gold, while still delivering the security of a tangible asset. Available as both coins and bars, silver bullion is a popular choice for those seeking to diversify their holdings, hedge against inflation, or build a physical reserve.
All our new silver bullion products are sourced from LBMA-accredited refiners and trusted mints, ensuring every item meets the highest standards of weight and purity. Whether you prefer the tradition of a silver coin or the efficiency of a larger bar, each piece is clearly stamped and delivered in secure packaging.

As gold bullion is exempt from UK VAT, there are no applicable taxes at the point of purchase.
However, investors should note that gold bars are liable for Capital Gains Tax at the point of sale, if you exceed your capital gains threshold within your tax year and you make a profit on the sale.
As we're not financial advisors, we can't offer you advice. However, we can give you some facts surrounding gold bar investment.
When investing in gold bullion there are two primary choices:
- investing in gold bars
- investing in gold coins
Potential investors must always remember that the sale of gold bars are subject to Capital Gains Tax (if you make a profit on their sale and you go over your annual CGT threshold).
The key difference wth UK issued gold coins (primarily Sovereigns and Britannias) is these coins are exempt from Capital Gains Tax.
Therefore, if you're a UK resident, whilst the margin you pay when buying a gold bar may be lower, you might be better off investing in UK issued gold coins.
