Nadir Metal Rafineri 500 g Silver Bar — half a kilogram of silver in one casting

The Nadir Metal Rafineri 500 g silver bar holds 500 g of silver, or 16.0754 troy oz.

The Istanbul refinery has been on the LBMA Good Delivery list for silver since 2012.

Specifications

Half a kilogram in practice

500 g of silver is more than sixteen ounces — as much as sixteen 1 oz coins, but in a single piece with one casting premium. The bar has the elongated shape with rounded edges typical of Nadir castings; its top face carries the round refinery logo, the inscription 500g Silver, the 999.9 fineness, the Assayer Nadir mark and the serial number.

Compared with a 1 kg bar, half a kilogram is easier to sell whole; compared with 250 g, you pay a lower premium per gram.

Packaging and serial number

According to the supplier the bar comes in a foil pouch. The serial number (a letter and five digits, as on the example piece in the photo) is stamped into the metal, so it identifies the bar even outside its packaging.

Producer

The bar is cast by Nadir Metal Rafineri in Istanbul — a company rooted in a metal recovery workshop founded in 1967, LBMA Good Delivery accredited for gold since 2011 and for silver since 2012.

What to consider

A casting naturally has an uneven surface, and silver outside airtight packaging tarnishes over time — neither changes the weight or fineness. Add 23% VAT; the metal value is on the silver price page.
