Silver in this form has an advantage in that it is easily identifiable as silver in a highly purified form. The manufacturer, purity and weight are stamped on the medallion (not on 1/2 oz medallion) so, just like a coin, this form of silver is readily identifiable, and therefore in demand by investors. The smaller weights hold a higher premium than say 1000oz bars, but are much more in demand and therefore saleable than larger bars. Unfortunately, manufactured silver in this form attracts VAT when new (included in the auction price).
It is now perfectly legal to own silver in this form in South Africa as as silver has been deregulated to conform with international practices. Silver is no longer designated a precious metal under South African law, and is therefore not subject to the restrictions that apply to metals such as gold, platinum and palladium. Silver is still however considered a precious metal as it is rare, and in demand as an investment or inflation hedge. Silver can also be considered a monetary asset, a store of value (a hedge against inflation), a fungible commodity and displays counter-cyclical behavior (zero correlation to the stock market and negative correlation to many financial instruments including the US dollar). In addition to it's investment attributes, it also has many industrial usages.
