History of Silver Coins
Silver has been one of our favourite precious metals used for coins since first being mined around 4000BC in Anatolia (now known as Turkey). In the thousands of years that followed first Greece and then Spain discovered and then exploited their vast silver deposits, but it was when the Americas were discovered in the 16th Century that silver mining really went into overdrive. Deposits in Mexico, Bolivia and Peru dwarfed those in Europe and at one time three quarters of the world's silver came from these three areas. Today Mexico and Peru are still the biggest silver miners, with Australia coming close behind. Luckily you don't have to go quite that far to get hold of breathtaking silver coins with quality to match.
In 2006, Pobjoy Mint released the world's largest coin on behalf of the British Virgin Islands. The huge 5 Kilo coin made of Proof Fine Silver celebrated the life of Christopher Columbus and featured a compass set into the coin. Pobjoy Mint also produced a One Kilo, Fine Silver coin for Sierra Leone to commemorate the 500th Anniversary since the laying of the foundation stone of St Peter's Basilica.
