Silver is an elemental metal that has the symbol Ag and an atomic number of 47, on the periodic table of the elements. Silver is also considered a precious to semi-precious metal for its use in jewelery and other decorative pieces. Silver is also used in coinage, or used in minting coins to give them value. Silver can be mined, and then further refined to get a finished product resembling a metallic-gray ore.
