Produced from 999 fine silver (99.9% purity), this bar contains 100 grams of investment-grade silver, equivalent to approximately 3.215 troy ounces, making it an attractive option for investors looking to purchase physical silver in a convenient and manageable size.
Featuring the distinctive Umicore branding alongside its weight and purity markings, the bar offers a straightforward bullion design that emphasises the quality and authenticity associated with an established precious metals manufacturer.
The compact 100g format makes this silver bar particularly appealing to investors seeking an alternative to traditional 1oz silver coins or larger silver bullion bars.

Umicore 100g Silver Bar Design
Front – Umicore Logo and Silver Purity
The front of the Umicore 100g Silver Bar features the manufacturer's distinctive Umicore logo, accompanied by the bar's weight and silver purity.
The inscriptions include:
-
umicore – The manufacturer's name and official branding.
-
100g – Confirming the bar's total weight of 100 grams.
-
FEINSILBER – German for fine silver.
-
999 – Confirming a minimum silver purity of 99.9%.
The bar features a rectangular design with rounded corners and a raised outer border, giving it a traditional investment bullion appearance.
Its reflective silver surface highlights the embossed lettering and manufacturer markings, creating an attractive finish.
Reverse – Silver Bullion Bar
The reverse of the Umicore 100g Silver Bar has a simple bullion-style finish, consistent with the practical design of investment silver bars.
Unlike collectible silver coins, bullion bars primarily derive their value from their precious metal content rather than decorative designs or legal tender status.
The bar's compact shape makes it convenient for storage, handling and inclusion within a diversified precious metals portfolio.
