Privately Minted Silver Round Series

Provident Metals offers a variety of bullion series that add collectibility to your investment. Whether your primary goal is investing in or collecting precious metals, these beautifully designed series are treasured by many bullion buyers.

Whereas sovereign minted bullion is produced and backed by a national government, privately minted bullion is produced by private companies and holds no legal tender value. The value of this bullion comes from the metals themselves.

Various private mints have earned the reputation of producing high-quality and beautifully designed bullion rounds and bars. Provident Metals has been recognized as one of these mints.

Below, you can browse our selection of privately minted bullion round series and begin your own collection.
