For numismatists buying silver coins, 2 oz silver coins offer a growing number of options. You’ll find everything from antique specimens and high-relief strikes to shaped, silver coins with colorized visuals. In addition to unique issues such as these, you’ll find proof 2 oz silver coins available from popular collections such as the Australian Brumby and South African Krugerrand.
A popular option among proof 2 oz silver is the use of colorization. The application of colorized lacquers on 2 oz silver coins can be as simple as adding colorization to select portions of a design or colorizing the entire reverse field of a coin.
One of the most popular proof 2 oz silver options is the use of shaped blanks. These products offer the greatest flexibility for mints as new designs do more than change the obverse and reverse of a standard, circular coin blank. Instead, the shape of the intended design is used as the format for the silver blank itself.
A long-standing tradition in coining is the use of high-relief visuals. By striking proof 2 oz silver coins multiple times under intense pressure in the press, mints can create high-relief visuals that deliver greater visual depth to the field and enhanced 3D relief on the design strike.
Similar to colorization, gilded 2 oz silver coins use selective applications of 24-karat gold to create visual contrast. In most cases, the gilded layer is applied only to select elements to help a primary design aspect stand out against the rest of the silver field.
