Umicore 50 gram silver bar

The Umicore 50 gram silver bar contains 99.9% pure silver and bears the official “Umicore Feinsilber 999” hallmark. These investment-grade silver bars are produced in Belgium by Umicore, a precious metals refiner with a history dating back to the 1800s.

Umicore has been accredited by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) since 1930 and is listed on the prestigious Good Delivery List. This accreditation ensures that Umicore silver bars are globally recognized and can be traded instantly without further verification.

Important to know

In the Netherlands, silver bars are subject to 21% VAT, which is already included in the webshop price. Business customers may reclaim VAT, but this does not apply to private investors. As a result, silver bars are often less attractive to individuals.

Because of the relatively high production costs of the 50 gram silver bar, it may be more cost-effective to consider alternatives such as the 1 troy ounce silver coins "varios years".

Alternatives: buying VAT-free silver

For private investors, there are several attractive ways to buy physical silver VAT-free:

• Silver coins that have already been in circulation, such as 1 troy ounce coins from various years or 1 kilogram Dutch silver coins. These coins are exempt from the 21% VAT.
• Silver bars in storage: when stored in a secure bonded vault abroad (for example in Switzerland or Singapore), no VAT is charged. This makes it an appealing option for long-term investors.
• The precious metals account: buy physical silver per gram VAT-free at the most competitive price.

Design

Each silver bar has a purity of 99.9% silver. The bar is stamped with the Umicore logo, silver fineness and weight of 50 grams. Thanks to its LBMA accreditation, it is globally recognized and easily tradable worldwide.

The bars feature the official “Umicore Feinsilber 999” hallmark and are produced in Belgium by Umicore. Founded in the 1800s and LBMA-accredited since 1930, Umicore’s silver bars can be traded worldwide without additional verification. Each bar is newly produced and delivered in sealed packaging.

Umicore silver bars up to 100 grams are struck from silver plates using a minting process, known as ‘minted’ bars. Bars above 100 grams are made by pouring molten silver into molds, known as ‘casted’ bars. The difference lies only in the production method and has no effect on the bar’s value. This 50 gram bar is a minted bar.
