I am intersted in finding some European government issued silver coin bullion. I'm particularly interested in Italian bullion. Does it exist? Google searches don't come up with anything. I am also interested in other European countries that issue government silver bullion.
The closest you'll likely get to Italian bullion is old stuff that came out of Chiasso on the Swiss/Italian border. Apart from the Austrian Mint, there's the Pobjoy Mint which is private but produces stuff on behalf of the Isle of Man. The Guernsey Mint is now called BullionRock and they made/make legal tender Guernsey "Doubles". You might also find something interesting at Cookson CLAL (France), Heimerle + Meule (Germany) and the Polish Mint. There's a few other private mints in Europe, but they specialize in numismatics.
I tried Denmark and it was all commemorative much like when you see 1 oz silver coins with packaging in the post office for $104.
Hy Bullionboy, My silverdealer sells nice Bullion, Swiss and Austrian issued. Have a look! http://www.echtgeld.ch
Sweden sold it's mint to Finland. So Code: http://www.suomenrahapaja.fi is where to go for Swedish and Finnish coins. Another mint in Europe is Code: http://www.helvetic-mint.com/ This mint made the Swedish Pm forum special coin "Swea" 2014, 2013 was made by Pobjoy mentioned earlier in this thread. Here you have Germany's silver/gold Code: www.deutsche-sammlermuenzen.de
