Silver bars are a great way to add to your silver stack. And when you find a bar that also has artistic and historic connections on top of being part of a low mintage, you can turn precious metal collecting into something even more valuable. The 500 Gram Silver Buddhist Stele of Amitabha Bar provides a high amount of silver content in a stunning visual design you’ll be proud to display.

  • Ships in sealed plastic!
  • Includes a Certificate of Authenticity!
  • Rare — only 673 minted!
  • Consists of 500 grams of .999 fine ­silver.
  • Bar doesn’t have a denomination or face value.
  • Obverse includes image of Amitabha Buddha Triad.
  • Reverse includes an image of 20 sitting Buddhas.

Steles are ancient monuments. They were typically made of stone or wood and crafted into rectangular shapes that were erected to stand vertically. This Silver Buddhist Stele of Amitabha Bar is a replica of an existing ancient stele that was found in the Biamsa Temple. The temple was located in the area that is present-day Sejong City. The obverse image on this silver bar replicates a picture carved into that ancient stele that features Amitabha Buddha along with related figures and other Buddhas.

On the reverse of the bar is a depiction of 20 Buddhas. It’s a copy of another image related to the ancient stele. The designer of the bar took into account the weathered and antique appearance of the actual artifact, and you can see that the replica bar includes those visuals as well. One corner looks as if it’s been worn away, obscuring the 20th Buddha, and there appear to be cracks in the surface of the design. These are cosmetic only to ensure that the silver bar does look as close to the artifact as possible; they do not diminish the quality of the bar or its stability.

The Silver Buddhist Stele of Amitabha Bar ships in a plastic sleeve for protection during transport. You can also use the sleeve for long-term storage to help keep your piece in excellent condition. You get a presentation box and a Certificate of Authenticity.

Only 673 Silver Buddhist Stele of Amitabha Bars in this weight and design were minted, which means this item can be hard to come by. Add this piece of historical art to your collection by purchasing it at Silver.com when inventories are available.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
