Fractional Silver

Fractional Silver – Coins, Bars & Rounds from Around the World

Silver is a traditional investment, offering a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. At AU Bullion, we’re happy to offer a wide selection of fractional silver coins, bars, and rounds from the world’s most respected mints. Whether you’re a seasoned investor looking to diversify your holdings or a first-time buyer looking to get started small, our selection of fractional silver provides the perfect balance of affordability and long-term value.

What is Fractional Silver?

Fractional silver refers to silver bullion in smaller weights, typically ranging from 1/10 oz to ½ oz. The smaller weights offer a lower entry point to silver investment compared to the typical 1 oz or larger silver coins and bars. Fractional silver is very popular because it is liquid, divisible, and less expensive, making it ideal for investors who want to hold physical silver in convenient, easy-to-trade sizes.
