The silver market in precious metals is an extremely diverse landscape that is perhaps best known for its investment-grade coins, such as the American Silver Eagle or Canadian Silver Maple Leaf. For those seeking novelty items with the added bonus of silver value, sovereign and private mints offer a wide range of novelty and themed silver bullion products that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re giving silver as a gift or building your own, unique collection, JM Bullion has the novelty silver products to pique your interest.
One of the longest-running themes for novelty silver revolves around holidays. It is common for private and sovereign mints to issue novelty silver rounds that feature seasonal design themes. The most popular are Christmas designs, offering silver enthusiasts options to give as gifts or stocking stuffers during the holiday season. Halloween-themed designs have also gained popularity in recent years.
Commemorative silver bullion is another major theme for silver bullion and originated in the production of novelty coins by sovereign mints to mark national milestones, events, or monuments. Today, commemorative themes come with an array of options, celebrating anything from birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and national holidays to long-running TV series to popular film franchises. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following categories:
Beyond specific themes such as seasonal products or commemorative issues, there are a variety of silver products that can truly be considered novelty silver. These items are often issued with one-of-a-kind designs and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Examples include categories like Unique Gifts and Silver Bullets.
As alluded to above, novelty silver bullion comes not only with a variety of design themes, but also a variety of different sizes, shapes, and finishes. Silver Bullets are a popular example of this variety, with each silver bullet designed to accurately reflect the size and shape of various ammo calibers, though you won’t be taking down any werewolves with these as the rounds are not functional. Silver Statues are another popular example of unique novelty designs, blending 3D visuals with antique finishes to create heirloom quality pieces with various different images.
Beyond these specific examples, you’ll find that other novelty silver pieces are finished with a variety of design elements that make each one unique. Popular finishes include antique polish, colorization, and gilded layers, the latter of which includes finishing select design elements or an entire piece with a thin layer of 24-karat gold for added visual brilliance.
