How to interpret this ranking
Vault, fund-listing and investor locations do not always align. This is an attributed estimate and not a census of what residents personally own.

Quick answers
Common questions
Plain-language answers explain what the numbers include, what they leave out and where the source coverage ends.
Which country ranks first for silver investment holdings per capita?
Switzerland ranks first among 11 countries in the current view at 19.0 fine troy ounces per resident.
How is the per-capita figure calculated?
The published metal quantity is converted to fine troy ounces or grams and divided by the documented resident population. Rankings use unrounded values.
Does this show what a typical resident personally owns?
No. These holdings are country-attributed research estimates, not a census of what residents personally own.
Why are some countries unavailable?
Only countries that pass the investment-scope evidence gate appear. Exclusion reasons remain visible on their country records.
How do Silver holdings, production and reserves differ?
Holdings are estimated above-ground stocks, mine production is one year's flow, and underground reserves are estimates of recoverable geological stock.
