Silver Bullion
Bullion refers to a non-ferrous alloy that is refined to a high standard in both weight and purity. Due to its alloy count, bullion is a great option for investment.
People buy them for the intrinsic value of the precious metal they contain, so production places greater emphasis on efficiency. They are struck at a rate of up to 250 gold and 3,000 silver coins per hour and are of a similar standard to Brilliant Uncirculated coins.

The story of Una and the Lion has been a source of inspiration for many centuries and its unique qualities have inspired a new bullion bar range from The Royal Mint. The intriguing tale, laden with symbolic meaning, has been chosen many times as a compelling subject for artistic interpretation. Una and the Lion notably appeared as a beautiful coin design created by famed engraver William Wyon.
This bullion bar design is inspired by the poem The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser. The epic poem follows the adventures of several knights to illustrate different virtues. Along the way, Spenser introduces Una, the daughter of a king and queen imprisoned by a dragon. On her quest to free her parents she comes across a lion. Una’s beauty and innocence becalm the beast, so instead of devouring the princess, the lion becomes her champion.
The Una and the Lion bar is available in a range of precious metals and has been tested to rigorous standards through an independent quality assurance process.

How are bullion prices calculated?
The 'buy' and 'sell' prices shown on the website represent the market value of raw vaulted metal in an 'unallocated' form. This is the standard way prices are quoted throughout the bullion industry. In order for The Royal Mint to deliver beautifully crafted precious metals products to your address, or to our vault, a number of processes must take place, all of which incur a cost. These processes include transportation, refining, minting, quality checking and merchandising.
The price at which The Royal Mint is able to sell bullion products to consumers is therefore made up of the 'spot price' (the buy price) plus an additional premium. The premium accounts for the costs incurred in manufacturing a particular product and is usually either a percentage of the buy price or a fixed monetary amount. In short, manufactured bullion products always sell at a premium to enable retailers and manufacturers to cover their costs.
Can I spend/pay using my bullion coins?
All UK coins, whether circulating or non-circulating, are authorised as “legal tender” by Royal Proclamation, in accordance with the Coinage Act of 1971.
Legal tender allows UK coins to be accepted for payment of debts in court – but, only circulating legal tender coins are designed to be spent and traded at businesses and banks. The Royal Mint creates commemorative and bullion coin series to celebrate key moments or individuals, and these are treasured for their collectable and aesthetic value, or purchased for investment opportunities. However, these non-circulating, commemorative and bullion coins are limited edition and will not enter general circulation – meaning banks and businesses are not required to accept them.
