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.
Why Invest in Silver?
- Affordable Access to the precious metals market
- Industrial Demand alongside its role as a financial asset
- Portfolio Diversification to balance risk
- Physical Security - a tangible investment you can hold
- Recognised Quality - LBMA-approved silver is trusted worldwide
Silver’s unique combination of investment appeal and industrial use can make it a dynamic addition to an investment portfolio, with potential for both long-term stability and growth.

A 1/10 ounce coin contains one tenth of a troy ounce of precious metal. That's about 3.11g of fine gold or silver, in a coin a little smaller than a 5p piece.
Tenth-ounce coins are among the smallest bullion coins you can buy. They're a simple, low-cost way to own real gold or silver, and they make popular gifts.
Tenth-ounce Britannias
The Royal Mint makes the Britannia bullion coin in a tenth-ounce size in both gold and silver.
- Gold: 999.9 fine gold (24 carat), £10 face value, 16.50mm across
- Silver: 999 fine silver, 20p face value, 16.50mm across
Both show Philip Nathan's Britannia, just like the larger coins. For 2027, the gold coin carries a '40' privy mark and the silver coin a '30' privy mark, celebrating 40 years of the Gold Britannia and 30 years of the Silver Britannia.
Why choose a 1/10oz coin?
Small coins cost less each, so you can buy a little at a time. They also give you flexibility later, because you can sell a few coins without parting with a whole ounce.
The trade-off is the cost per gram. Minting, packing and handling cost almost as much for a small coin as a large one, so the premium over the metal price is usually higher on a tenth-ounce coin than on a 1oz coin.
Tax on tenth-ounce coins
Gold coins that qualify as investment gold, such as Gold Britannias, are free from VAT in the UK. New silver coins are charged VAT at the standard rate.
Britannias are UK legal tender, so any gain when you sell them is free from Capital Gains Tax for UK residents. Tenth-ounce coins from other countries don't share this exemption.
