1 Ounce of Silver in Argentina
| Exchange Basis | Estimated Price per Ounce (ARS) |
| Official Rate | Approximately $116,000 ARS |
| Blue/Parallel Rate | Approximately $125,000 – $135,000 ARS |
Note: These figures are based on a current international silver spot price of approximately $80.00 USD per troy ounce.
Why the price varies
The "Blue" Gap: Because of currency restrictions, physical silver is usually traded closer to the "Dólar Blue" (parallel) rate. If you are buying physical bullion or jewelry, expect to pay a premium that reflects the higher parallel exchange rate.
Global Market Shift: Silver recently saw a sharp correction after reaching highs near $120 USD.
This global dip has lowered the local price in Argentina despite the ongoing inflation of the peso. Retail Premiums: If you are buying a physical coin (like the Onza Libertad or an American Eagle), shops in Buenos Aires or online marketplaces like Mercado Libre will add a 20% to 30% premium over the raw "spot" metal price.
