The history of silver is intertwined with that of gold:
Silver was already known in ancient times, and its shine made it popular, so besides gold, silver was just as popular a material for jewelry. Because of its softness, it was very easy to stretch, thin, and work, but it was easy to wear out as well. Therefore, it was usually alloyed with copper to make it more resistant. In ancient times, not only coins, but even mirrors were made from it. When only the elemental form was known for its production, the value of silver was considered equivalent to gold. The two noble precious metals were also alloyed with each other, and electrum was born from this. Today, however, the difference between their values is well understood and clear. The reason for this is that compared to gold, silver is more common in nature and can also be extracted from various chemical compounds, so its value gradually began to decrease over time. In ancient times, silver came from India, Persia, and Spain. In the Middle Ages, silver mines were opened in large numbers in Saxony and Tyrol. With the discovery of the new continent, America, silver also came to Europe from there.
