One ounce silver coins, particularly those from sovereign mints, tend to have fairly standard dimensions, although there can be slight variations . For example:
- American Silver Eagle: This popular coin has a diameter of 40.6 mm (1.598 inches) and a weight of 1 troy ounce (31.1035 grams). Its thickness is roughly 2.98 mm.
- Canadian Silver Maple Leaf: The Canadian Silver Maple Leaf has a diameter of 38 mm and a thickness of 3.29 mm.
- Australian Silver Kangaroo: This coin typically has a diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of 3.2 mm.
These differences in diameter and thickness can affect the overall surface area, even if the weight remains the same. Additionally, privately minted silver rounds may have different dimensions compared to government-issued coins.
Note: It’s worth noting that even within the same type of coin, minor variations in weight and dimensions can occur due to manufacturing tolerances.
