The 10 troy ounce silver bar Winged Unicorn is part of the beautiful series of Ultra-High Relief Art Bars. The six bars in this series have an ultra-high relief design and are designed with great care. The special playful shape combined with the Ultra High Relief effect makes this silver bar popular with collectors. On both the front and back of the silver bar, much attention has been paid to the design.
The 10 troy ounce silver bar is struck in 99.99% pure silver and comes in a mylar sleeve with a holographic seal for protection and authenticity.
A mythical creature, a flying unicorn, is beautifully depicted on the front of this silver bar. The entire design of the unicorn is full of beautiful details. An obvious example are the beautiful wings and mane, these really stand out from the design. The use of the ultra high relief technique ensures that the unicorn is visible on top of the bar, instead of appearing engraved in the bar. This gives it a unique effect.
The back of the bar features various inscriptions, such as the logo of the Argentia mint, the weight of the bar, the type of precious metal and the silver content of the bar. Surrounding the inscriptions is a detailed repeating design, a combination of circles and bars.
Ultra-High Relief Art Bars are mainly seen as collectibles. For business, however, these Art Bars are suitable as investments. Silver bars are seen as commodities and are therefore taxed with 21% VAT. This makes these silver bars less suitable for private investors. However, silver bars are interesting for business investors, as companies can usually reclaim VAT. The moment the company sells the silver again, 21% VAT needs to be charged again.
