World Silver Bullion Collection

[ArgentSmith]

A question for the good members of the forum. Don't know where I will source the box yet but wanted to put together a ten coin set of most "iconic"? 1oz silver bullion from various countries/continents.. So I have as below 7 coins thinking an Ozy Roo needed which leaves 2 holes to fill, so to speak.

Looking for suggestions 🙏

Got to be that tbh, needs to be from a different country to the ones he already has.

There’s a nice Polish 1oz coin I’ve seen too.

A bit pricey but very nicely done…..

Do you mean the RAM kangaroo? Is a much better coin than the Perth Mint one🤔😮 then just a year to pick🤔

You are probably right about RAM vs Perth mint but tbh was thinking Perth mint as more common/typical/recognisable bullion. But I take your point 🍻

You need to think … only one per country? Rounds as well as coins?🤔😮⛄️ how easy/hard do you want it🤔😁

 Forget the Kangaroo, stupid idea 😁 Im taking your advice re RAM but going with @Roy suggestion of a Kookaburra for Australia. I have a 30th anniversary to hand so that helped make my mind up lol  🍻

The Niue Turtle coin is a nice design in my opinion for a bit of world silver.  Also agree that a Somalian Elephant would be a good addition to your collection.

Netherlands Lion Dollar (restrike) coins started being minted again a few years ago, perhaps worth seeking out too?  Some nice designs to choose from I think.

Surely the Marie Theresa Thaler has to be included. It’s an iconic coin still in use today. Although it is only 1oz (not troy oz) of .833 silver

Great choice and certainly iconic my only objections are I already have an Austrian coin and was sort of thinking 999 bullion otherwise projects growing all sorts of arms and legs 😄

Glad you mentioned Somali Elephant only have one coin from Africa @smk009 mentioned the elephant previously so will take advice👍. Probably pass on the Niue as its a small island, If I include a small island would most likely go with @Bigmarcs iconic owl of athena.🍻

Korean tigers in their various designs ...

Czech Lions? 

Isle of Man have a few like the Angel and maybe the one with the ship is it a Noble available in silver?

Czech Lion is actually also a Niue coin...

I would say the most "established" bullion coins, in addition to those you already have + Kangaroo, are Athenian Owl and Noah's Ark, if that's what you are looking for in your Big 10.

👍🏼 Thanks for correcting me 

[Stuntman]

New Zealand Fern coins look nice I think.  Made by the NZ mint, contain 'New Zealand' on them and show the national symbol.  

If I was collecting world silver I'd be tempted to add one!
