Silver kilo coins
Australia's Perth Mint has minted several kilo coins in pure silver, including the Kookaburra, Koala and Lunar. These are impressive coins with a diameter of no less than 100mm struck in 99.9% pure silver. The kilo coins are particularly popular in Europe as an alternative to silver bars that have to be taxed with 21% VAT. These coins are also popular among collectors because the design of the coin is changed every year.

1-kilogram silver coins are primarily issued by the Perth Mint. This mint offers various collector series such as the Koala, Lunar, and Kookaburra.

Silver kilo coins or bars
If you wish to invest a larger amount in silver, you can do so by purchasing 1-kilogram silver coins, silver coin bars, or silver bars.
As an individual investor, it is advisable to buy 1-kilogram silver coins. Silver coins are exempt from VAT and fall under the margin scheme. The margin scheme means that VAT is only calculated on our profit margin. In contrast, silver bars are subject to the full 21% VAT, making them less attractive.
Another advantage of buying silver kilo coins is the higher buyback guarantee compared to silver bars. When you sell them in the future, you will receive a significantly higher price for silver coins compared to silver bars.
If you wish to buy silver for business purposes, we recommend choosing silver bars. This is because you can reclaim the VAT on silver bars from the tax authorities. You can find more information about VAT on our page regarding the taxation aspects of purchasing gold and silver.
