Silver Kilo bars are popular for larger investors because they are normally traded at a low premium above the market value of their Silver content and most bars are etched with a unique serial number, aiding in the proof of provenance and ownership.
Silver kilo bars are a flat rectangular shape, where the typical length ranges from 110-120 mm, and thickness 50-60 mm.
Manufacture
The standard method of making Silver bars is to cast (pour) liquid silver, which has been melted at 962 Degrees C in a crucible, into a mold with the appropriate dimensions.
Minted bars are starting to become more common and are normally cut from a cast bar that has been rolled to a uniform thickness. The cutting is usually done with a die to create blanks that have the required dimensions and weight. All the surfaces (top, base and sides) are smooth and even. Markings are then applied by a minting press like a coin, or sometimes etched.
Our clients find this their most preferred product, due to its convenient size, and that it is one of the most liquid of bar sizes internationally.
