Gold and silver are the world's two most important precious metals and both metals are used globally as forms of savings and investment and as forms of wealth preservation. Indeed, both both gold and silver have been used as money and as store of values for thousands of years. Because gold and silver are tangible assets with limited supply that are costly to mine and difficult to counterfeit, this gives the two metals intrinsic value and explains why both gold and silver have been chosen as monetary metals throughout recorded civilization.
Because gold is relatively scarcer than silver, gold bullion has a higher intrinsic value than silver bullion. Each metal also has some common demand drivers and some distinct demand drivers which help to explain the relative price differences between the gold price and the silver price on international markets.
Unlike national fiat currencies which are issued by central banks, monetary authorities, and national governments, gold and silver do not have any counterparty risks or default risks because they are not issued by any issuing entity. Therefore, when you hold physical gold bullion or silver bullion in your possession or stored with a secure precious metals storage provider such as BullionStar in Singapore, you are holding assets with value outside the banking system which are ring-fenced from the financial system.
