Silver coins
The original idea was to provide silver coins which would contain a guaranteed one ounce of fine, or pure, silver. In 1986, the United States of America started issuing a one ounce silver version of their one ounce gold eagle bullion coin. In 1988, Canada introduced a one ounce silver bullion coin, the silver Maple Leaf. Great Britain started to produce their silver Britannia bullion coin in 1997. Other silver bullion coins include Australian Kookaburra, American Eagle, Chinese Panda, Somali Monkey, Zambian Elephant, Mexican 1 Onza Plata Pura.There is now a choice of sizes available: In 1992 the Perth Mint in Australia introduced two ounce, ten ounce and one kilo silver bullion coins. In 1998, Canada introduced a 10 ounce silver Maple.
