Foreign Silver Bullion & Coins
The United States Mint is universally recognized around the globe as one of the finest facilities in the world. Though its silver bullion coins are highly regarded due to the coin processes and silver content used by the Mint, there are countless other Foreign Silver Bullion Coins struck by government facilities across the globe. In fact, many foreign mints produce coins which are on par with those struck by the United States Mint.
The variety of silver coins produced around the globe is almost endless, including renowned issues from mints like the Royal Canadian Mint, Perth Mint, and Austrian Mint, each offering unique designs and high purity standards.

Questions about Foreign Silver Bullion & Coins
To determine if a foreign coin is silver, start by checking the date and minting information, as many countries used silver up to a specific year. Look for any markings like “925” or “Sterling” that indicate silver content. Conduct a magnet test, as silver is non-magnetic, and try a ring test, as silver coins produce a distinct, high-pitched sound when tapped. Examine the coin’s color and weight, as silver coins have a unique luster and are often heavier. For more accuracy, consider using an acid test kit or consult us at San Diego Coin & Bullion and we can assess your coin.
Foreign coins can definitely be worth something, but it really depends on a few factors like their rarity, condition, and demand among collectors. Some coins can be surprisingly valuable, especially if they’re made of precious metals or come from limited mintages. Even common foreign silver coins might fetch a few bucks if they’re in good shape or have an interesting history. Bring them into our San Diego coin shop and we can help value them.
Several countries have silver coins, often for commemorative and bullion purposes. The United States mints the American Silver Eagle, Canada issues the Silver Maple Leaf, Mexico produces the Silver Libertad, Australia offers the Silver Kangaroo and Kookaburra series, and the United Kingdom mints the Silver Britannia.
