Why should I choose Dutch Silver coins
For investors seeking physical silver at the most competitive price, Dutch silver coins are an excellent alternative to new silver coins and bars. Unlike silver bars, which are subject to 21% VAT, these coins are purchased completely VAT-free. Because the surcharge (premium) on top of the silver price is lower than that of new bullion coins, this is the most efficient way to expand your silver position.
- Low premium: You pay a very low margin above the current silver spot price, making this one of the most efficient silver investments available.
- VAT-free: As these are pre-owned coins, they fall under the margin scheme. This means you do not pay 21% VAT, resulting in a significant price advantage.
- Recognition: Dutch silver coins are instantly recognizable. Featuring the portraits of Queens Wilhelmina and Juliana, these coins are highly liquid; you can easily and quickly trade them back for cash or bank transfer at almost any bullion dealer in the Netherlands.
Composition of our silver bags (1kg, 2kg, 5kg)
Every bag of Dutch silver coins is compiled based on the net weight of pure silver. Since the coins contain 72% silver, the gross weight of the bag is always higher than the amount of pure silver you are paying for.
- 1 kilogram net silver: Contains approximately 1,390 grams of gross coins.
- 5 kilogram net silver: The ideal choice for larger investments at the lowest price per gram.
Our specialists verify every delivery for weight, composition, and silver content. As these coins come from circulation, they may show light signs of use; this is already factored into the price.
Overview: years, weights, and silver purity
In our bags, you will primarily find issues minted after 1922.

| 1 Guilder | 1954 - 1967 | 6.5 grams | 72% |
