Mermaid & Pearl is the 2025 instalment of Scottsdale Mint's Mermaid silver coin programme. Each coin is struck in 1 troy oz of .999 fine silver and issued as legal tender of Samoa at a 2 Tala face value. The reverse features a mermaid reaching toward a glowing pearl set against wave and coral-inspired patterns. Each release in the series carries a new subtitle and reverse design.

Silver bars generally carry lower premiums per ounce, making them more cost-efficient for large purchases focused purely on metal content. Coins like the Mermaid & Pearl carry legal tender status, limited mintages (10,000 BU for the 2025 release), and annual design changes that can support resale value beyond melt. Divisibility and recognisability are also stronger for coins. The better choice depends on whether you are prioritising cost per ounce or collectability.

VAT and GST treatment on silver coins varies by country. In the UK, silver bullion coins are subject to 20% VAT. In Germany, silver carries 19%. Canada exempts investment-grade silver bullion from GST at 0%. Australia applies 0% GST on investment silver. Always confirm with a local tax adviser, as rules on qualifying criteria differ between jurisdictions.
