Seven coins, seven stories

Krugerrand: The Springbok in silver

As a gold coin, the Krugerrand has been a legend since 1967. The silver edition only joined decades later and has since established itself rapidly. On the obverse, the famous Springbok leaps, flanked by the year "20 26". The reverse shows the portrait of Paul Kruger with the bilingual inscription "SUID-AFRIKA · SOUTH AFRICA".

Maple Leaf: Canada's maple leaf

Since 1988, the Silver Maple Leaf has been among the world's most actively traded bullion coins. The finely engraved maple leaf rests on a background of radial lines. A tiny laser-engraved maple leaf serves as an additional security feature. The value side bears the portrait of King Charles III. With a face value of 5 Canadian Dollars, the Maple Leaf also holds the highest denomination among the classic 1-ounce silver coins.

American Eagle: America's flagship

Introduced in 1986, the American Eagle is arguably America's most famous silver coin. The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's "Walking Liberty", while the reverse shows a bald eagle coming in to land, designed by Emily Damstra and minted since 2021. The United States celebrates its 250th birthday in 2026, giving this year of issue a very special resonance.

Britannia: Europe's oldest bullion coin

Philip Nathan's Britannia, bearing trident, shield and olive branch, is an icon of British minting craftsmanship. The value side carries the uncrowned portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings. The Royal Mint's modern security features are also noteworthy, including a latent image and fine microtext.

Kangaroo: Australia's leap forward

The Perth Mint has been striking the Silver Kangaroo since 2016 at a fineness of 999.9. The design shows a red giant kangaroo in front of a radiant sun. A microscopic laser mark protects against counterfeiting.

Vienna Philharmonic: Europe's silver star

Since 2008, the Philharmonic has also been available in silver. It is the only coin in the set with a Euro face value. One side depicts the instruments of the world-famous orchestra, while the other shows the organ of the Golden Hall at the Vienna Musikverein.

Somalia Elephant: A new design every year

For many collectors, the exotic piece in the set is the real highlight. The African Wildlife series changes its design every year. In 2026, an elephant stands at the waterhole, with a second one in the background, while a zebra drinks in the foreground. The coin is minted in Germany, at the historic Bavarian State Mint.

Mixed set or seven identical coins?

Why not simply buy seven identical coins? A tube of Maple Leafs is convenient, but monotonous. The mixed set spreads your holdings across seven mints and seven issuing countries. When it comes time to sell, you decide for yourself which coin to part with. Perhaps it will be the Elephant, with its annual design, that proves especially sought-after among collectors.

There are differences in fineness: the Maple Leaf, Kangaroo and Elephant offer 999.9, while the other four coins offer 999. However, the fine weight of one ounce is the same for all of them. So in every case, you receive the full amount of silver, in high-quality minting standard, and as a reliable bullion coin with a low premium compared to pure collector's issues.

Gold is humanity's oldest currency, and silver has always been its faithful companion. As a coinage metal, it has outlasted empires, currencies and systems for thousands of years.

Why silver? Tangible value preservation

Silver has been a monetary metal and store of value for thousands of years. Paper money is only worth as much as the trust placed in governments. Silver, on the other hand, possesses an intrinsic value of its own through its physical properties. Many investors therefore use it as an inflation hedge and as crisis protection against political and economic turbulence.

• Industrial demand: Silver is indispensable in electronics, photovoltaics and medical technology, and new applications are constantly emerging.
• Limited supply: The available quantity is finite, which supports long-term value stability.
• High liquidity: Globally recognized bullion coins can easily be converted back into cash.
• Affordable: Compared to gold, getting started is possible with a smaller budget.
• Medium of exchange: A single ounce is suitable for smaller transactions, especially when currencies are unstable.
• Tax advantage: In Germany, profits from the sale of physical silver are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.
• Durable: Silver retains its physical properties across generations, making it suitable for retirement provision and inheritance.

Who is the Silver World Tour suitable for?

For beginners who want to hold all the big names in their hands at least once. For collectors building a complete annual set year after year. And as a gift for a birth, confirmation or milestone birthday, there is hardly anything as impressive as a small journey around the world in pure precious metal. This set tells a story while also offering real substance. Secure the seven classics of the 2026 year of issue as a lasting value for yourself and your family.
