5g Silver Round: frequently asked questions
-
The cheapest 5g silver round we track is $17.73. A 5g round contains 5g of .999 fine silver, so its melt value is roughly 5/31.1 of the current silver spot price per troy ounce. Small rounds like this typically carry a higher premium per gram than larger silver products.
-
Generic 5g silver rounds are struck from 999 fine silver, meaning 99.9% pure silver with no base-metal alloy. This is investment-grade purity and the standard for modern silver bullion rounds. The millesimal fineness scale (999) is used for silver rather than the karat scale used for gold.
-
A 5g silver round weighs 5 g and is notably compact, though exact dimensions vary by maker. It is one of the smallest silver bullion formats available, making it easy to handle or store individually, but also meaning it carries a higher premium per gram than larger silver products.
-
Unlike investment gold, silver bullion is not VAT-exempt in most markets. In the UK, silver rounds attract 20% VAT. In Germany the rate is 19%, and in Ireland 23%. Canada is an exception: silver bullion rounds are GST-free at 0%. In the US there is no federal sales tax on silver, though some states impose their own.
