Palladium Bullion

Palladium Bullion at Silver.com

Palladium was discovered by William Hyde Wollaston in 1803. Palladium is part of the platinum metals group and is the least dense of any platinum metal. While more than half of the global supply of this metal is used for catalytic converters, palladium bullion has become a popular investment piece in recent memory. Now, more and more mints are open to the idea of supplying consumers with palladium coins and bars. Learn more about the palladium bullion available at Silver.com, right here.

Palladium Coins

There are two main types of palladium coin programs on the market.

• Palladium American Eagle: Gold and Silver American Eagles debuted in 1986. Platinum American Eagles were introduced in 1997. This led to the Palladium American Eagle in 2017. Each coin is made with 1 Troy oz of .9995 fine palladium with a face value of $25 (USD). Every year, the US Mint releases these coins in 1 or 2 different strikes such as – BU, proof, reverse proof, and burnished. The obverse side shows Adolph A. Weinman’s Winged Liberty design while his bald eagle design is on the reverse.
• Palladium Canadian Maple Leaf: However, widely regarded as the first major palladium bullion coin program is the Palladium Canadian Maple Leaf. This series was introduced in 2005 and was issued in 2007, 2009, and again in 2015. These coins have been released every year since 2015. These coins showcase the same imagery seen in other Maple Leaf coins.
