For other uses, see Silver.

Silver was a material that had long been valued as a precious metal, used to make jewellery, high-value tableware, and currency coins.

Prior to United Federation of Planets contact, gold and silver had no meaning on Capella IV. Starfleet trade ships introduced these materials as currency prior to 2267. (TOS novelization: Friday's Child)
