Are Discontinued Scotiabank 5oz Silver Rounds a Collector's Treasure or a Missed Opportunity?

Silver collectors and investors are always on the lookout for new and exciting varieties of silver bars and rounds. The Bank of Nova Scotia (French: Banque de Nouvelle-Écosse), operating as Scotiabank (French: Banque Scotia), is a Canadian multinational banking and financial services company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. One of Canada's Big Five banks, it is the third-largest Canadian bank by deposits and market capitalization. Some of the larger Canadian Banks, such as Scotiabank, TD Bank, and Royal Bank of Canada are commonly known names in the vintage collector market as Johnson Matthey and Engelhard, some of the biggest private refiners from the turn of the century, were provided with the task of creating extremely low mintage art bars for these banks.


Canadian customers have long been able to secure physical precious metals directly through the banks they do business with and this has included many of the larger banks, such as TD Bank and Scotiabank. However, it is our understanding that Scotiabank is no longer offering bullion products over the counter and so these once-generic products have now fallen into the category of discontinued. Though it is unclear if this has been the case yet, there is a possibility that these pieces may slowly grow in collectability over time as well.


One of the more unique products produced by Scotiabank was an oversized 5 troy ounce .999 fine silver round. This particular round features a mirror/proof-like obverse and reverse, is stamped with the purity and weight, and features the iconic Scotiabank logo on both sides of the round. The edge of the round is plain and flat and it has an overall clean look.
