Why Gold and Silver Prices Are Soaring — And Why You Might Want a Share

If you’ve noticed headlines like “gold breaks all-time highs” or “silver jumps 30% in months” and thought, “Huh — why’s that happening?” — you’re in the right place. This article walks you through why gold and silver are rallying so hard, what the risks are, and why investing in Pressburg Mint pieces might make sense now. By the end, you’ll be more confident — and maybe even excited — about buying precious metals.

1. What’s happening right now?

Gold has recently cracked new highs — crossing the US$4,000 per troy ounce mark. Silver has also surged sharply, reaching levels not seen for over a decade. Banks and analysts are revising their forecasts upward — HSBC recently raised its 2025 silver average estimate to US$38.56/oz. We’re in the middle of a strong, broad-based precious metals rally.

2. The “Big Five” Forces Driving the Rally

The rally in gold and silver prices is driven by a mix of inflation, currency weakness, central bank demand, industrial usage (especially silver), and geopolitical risk. These overlapping forces have created a perfect storm for precious metals.

3. Gold vs Silver: Which One Should You Pick?

Gold tends to be more stable and less volatile, while silver offers greater upside potential but also greater swings. Many investors mix both — gold for stability and silver for growth potential.

Gold has increased by 177% in the past 5 years, while silver has tripled in price in the same period

4. Why Consider Buying Pressburg Mint Gold & Silver

Pressburg Mint is a private European mint with global outreach, focusing on craftsmanship, advanced technology, and innovative design. Their coins and bars are high-purity and high-quality, artistically themed, and produced with modern technology, blending investment with art.

Their low-mintage products, such as their 1oz proof-like gold coins with mintages sometime as low as 300 pcs, but priced similarly to premium bullion gold coins with mintages in the tens of thousands make them an amazing value for money!

Here are some examples of beautiful, uniquely-designed 1oz 9999 gold coins, in proof-like finish with mintages of 300 pcs. They are packaged in leather etues and include numbered certificates with unique serial numbers which you can verify their authenticity on our website.

Other offerings include investment bullion products with lower premiums, such as these silver coinbars, which are an amalgamation of a banknote, a coin and a silver bar. They feature a futuristic design which is engraved using state of the art laser engraving technology to ensure a striking white frosting and extreme level of detail as well as a cryptographically secured unique serial number.

Or maybe you fancy something truly unique, like the world’s first coin designed by artificial intelligence or the world’s first 3D printed silver coin, produced using our proprietary revolutionary 3D metal printing technology.

5. How to Get Started (Without Getting Overwhelmed)

Start small, decide your allocation (perhaps 5–15% of your portfolio), and diversify between gold and silver. Use price dips to your advantage and monitor market trends over time.

6. What Could Go Wrong — and How to Mitigate

Gold and silver are volatile and can react to rising interest rates or sudden economic changes. Keep your holdings modest, choose trusted mints, and be patient for long-term rewards.

7. Final Thought — Why Now Might Be a Golden (or Silvery) Moment

With inflation, uncertainty, and industrial demand all rising, now might be an ideal time to own tangible assets. Pressburg Mint offers beautifully crafted coins and bars that combine security with artistry. Buying even a small amount today could be your first step toward preserving and growing wealth.

How to upload a profile photo for customised Christmas rounds

Please upload a clear, well-lit photo portrait of yourself.

The ideal format is a circular .png portrait in high resolution, with a transparent background. If you don’t know how to do that, don’t worry, you will be able to tweak any image you have of yourself and see a visual preview later in the process, before making the purchase.

After uploading the picture, click the pencil icon which will allow you to crop, resize and rotate the photo to exactly match how you would like the resulting portrait to look on the coin. Mind that if you are working with a square or rectangular photo, it will get cropped in the circle. However, you can play around with it again and again until you reach a satisfactory outcome. If you already have a circle portrait, make sure not to crop it back into a square. 

If you would have any special requests to have a totally customized product made, with many more features and options, such as selective gold-plating, antique finish, luxury 3D-printed silver objects, don’t hesitate to contact us at shop@pressburgmint.com
