{"product_id":"500g-silver-cast-bar","title":"500g Silver Cast Bar","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA 500 gram cast silver bar in .999 fine silver hand-poured for a distinctive rugged finish that collectors and stackers prize. Each bar is individually weighed, stamped, and dispatched from our New Zealand vault.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 500g Silver Cast Bar is a heavyweight piece of physical silver bullion, crafted by pouring molten .999 fine silver directly into a mould rather than minted under pressure. The result is a bar with character: visible pour lines, a slightly uneven surface, and the unmistakable look of raw silver at rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor investors, the appeal is straightforward. Cast bars typically carry a lower premium over spot than minted bars of the same weight, making them one of the most cost-efficient ways to add serious mass to a silver stack. At half a kilogram, this bar sits in the sweet spot substantial enough to deliver real value per unit, but still divisible across a diversified holding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEach 500g cast bar is stamped with its weight, purity (.999), and a unique serial or maker's mark for verification. Bars are sourced from refiners recognised on the LBMA Good Delivery framework where available, and every order ships fully insured from our New Zealand facility. Secure vault storage is available if you'd prefer not to take physical possession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 500 grams (16.075 troy oz)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurity: .999 fine silver\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForm: Cast (hand-poured)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStamping: Weight, purity, refiner mark\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: Ships from New Zealand\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XAG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47922692849885,"sku":"AG-500G-BAR","price":2104.17,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/1519\/4333\/files\/500g-silver-cast-bar-intrinsic-tender-front-1-817x800_1.png?v=1778815478","url":"https:\/\/www.williamsbullion.co.nz\/products\/500g-silver-cast-bar","provider":"Williams Bullion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
