1 Kilogram Cast
Silver Bar

The ABC Bullion 1 Kilogram Cast Silver Bar is pour-moulded at ABC Bullion's Sydney refinery and individually serial-numbered. The bar face shows the ABC rounded square logo, "1 KILO / FINE SILVER / 999.5," the Australia assay disc mark, and a unique serial number (D084996 shown). As a cast bar, the organic surface texture is characteristic of the pour process and does not affect silver content.

Available individually or in the ABC Bullion black presentation box — a rigid collector-grade box holding 5 bars (5kg total / 160.75 troy oz of silver). The 5-bar box is ideal for investors making regular silver accumulations and provides secure, attractive storage for the bars within your home or safe.

As an authorised ABC Bullion dealer, we supply every bar directly from the refinery with full provenance. We buy this bar back at 100% of the live spot price.

Investment-grade gold (≥99.5% Au) is GST-exempt under Australian law. Silver does not qualify — all silver bars attract 10% GST, regardless of purity. This is the most important cost factor to understand before buying silver in Australia:

• Buy price: The price shown includes 10% GST. A full GST tax invoice is provided with every purchase.
• Sell price: When selling silver back, you receive the ex-GST price. The GST effectively forms part of the buy-sell spread. GST-registered businesses may be able to claim input tax credits — consult your tax adviser.
• CGT: Selling silver is a CGT event. If held more than 12 months, the 50% CGT discount applies to individuals.
• SMSF: Silver in an SMSF may be treated as a "collectible." Independent advice is strongly recommended.

Silver's GST makes it structurally different from gold as an investment — the effective cost of entry is higher. For most investors, a gold allocation should be established first.

Silver and gold serve different investment purposes and have very different market dynamics:

• Gold: GST-free. Primarily monetary metal. Largest, most liquid precious metals market. Lower volatility. Capital preservation focus. No GST friction on buy-sell spread.
• Silver: 10% GST applies. Dual monetary and industrial metal. Over 50% of silver demand is industrial (electronics, solar panels, medical, batteries). Higher volatility — greater upside potential in bull markets, greater drawdown in bear markets. Lower entry price per bar allows more frequent accumulation.
• Gold:Silver ratio: Historically averages around 60:1. When this ratio is elevated (as it has been recently), silver is considered historically undervalued relative to gold — a key reason many investors add silver alongside gold.

Silver is best held as a complement to gold, not a substitute — offering industrial demand exposure and historically cheap relative valuation, while gold anchors the portfolio.

Your silver bar can be collected in person at our Sydney or Melbourne offices, delivered by fully insured specialist courier, or placed into our allocated vault storage — free for the first 3 months with every purchase.

Important note for home storage: silver tarnishes over time when exposed to air and sulfur compounds. If home storing, keep bars sealed (the ABC Bullion black presentation box provides excellent protection) and in a climate-controlled environment. Vault storage eliminates this concern — bars are stored in controlled-environment Class 10 vaults with full replacement-value insurance.

All deliveries use specialist insured couriers with full replacement-value coverage from dispatch to signed delivery. Discreet packaging — no markings indicate contents. Delivery: Sydney/Melbourne next business day; other metro 1–2 days; regional 2–5 days.

Returns accepted only for materially incorrect or defective products. No returns based on price movement after confirmed purchase. Contact us within 5 business days if a return is warranted.
