Silver is a chemical element with symbol Ag and derived from the Greek "shiny" or "white". It is soft, white, lustrous transition metal and exhibits the highest electrical conductivity and reflectivity of any metal.
Silver has long been valued as a precious metal and is used in many bullion coins, sometimes alongside gold. While it is more abundant than gold, it is much less abundant as a native metal. As one of the seven metals of antiquity, silver has an enduring role in most human cultures.
