5 Kilo Silver Bar

5 Kilo Silver Bar

This is a brand new 5KG silver bullion bar, produced by world-renowned manufacturer Hereaus. Produced to a fineness of 999/1000 parts silver, this 5kilo bar appeals to those seeking great value physical silver investment. Minted by Argor-Hereaus, the cast silver bar is commissioned by the Republic of Fiji and qualifies as legal tender on the tropical archipelago. It benefits from a face value of 25 Fijian Dollars which qualifies its legal tender status. The bar is imprinted with its purity, weight, manufacturer, face value, and a lovely motif representing the sailboats of Fiji.

Why is it so special?

It’s very rare for silver bars to feature a face value. The face value is commonly seen on bullion coins, but silver bullion tends to omit this detail. Rather than simply being an aesthetic, the ‘coin bar’ as we like to call it qualifies for VAT-free delivery in the UK because of this feature. While a majority of regular silver bars will have 20% VAT added to their cost when you order for delivery in the UK, our hybrid bars do not. They look and perform just like any silver bullion, but they just save you a huge initial buying cost, which boosts your overall silver investing returns.

Our Expert Opinion

This is a very popular choice for silver investors. The high purity of the silver, combined with its huge size, provides a lower manufacturing cost than smaller silver bars, which means more silver for your money. The VAT-free qualification is a huge bonus and puts this silver bar head and shoulders above regular silver bullion as a best value investment. Its unlikely that most people will ever have the wealth to purchase and hold a 5kg gold bar in their hands (the cost would be around £175k!), but holding this 5kg silver bar is both impressive and satisfying, especially when compared to the tiny equivalent gold bar the same money would buy.

A popular approach when purchasing the 5kg silver bar is to combine it with other size silver bars like the 1kg silver bar and the 500g bullion bar. This combination provides a good size balance to your portfolio and increases the divisibility of your holding. Alternatively, many choose to average out the cost, tax efficiency and divisibility of their precious metals holding, but also adding popular silver bullion coins to their collection. Focussing on UK Silver Britannia coins is a cheap way of adding 1oz silver to your holding (increasing flexibility to sell small parts of your portfolio) and ensuring the sales are free from Capital Gains Tax.
