Official Friday, November 6, 2026 In 73 days

Dhanteras

Silver utensils and coins are traditionally purchased on Dhanteras alongside gold, making it one of the most commercially significant days of the year for Indian silver retail.

Industry Wednesday, April 7, 2027 In 225 days

International Silver Day

April 7 was chosen for silver's atomic number, 47 (Ag47) — a genuinely global, industry-backed observance rather than a MetalsCost creation, marking silver's dual role as both a precious metal and, increasingly, an industrial one.

MetalsCost Silver Day

MetalsCost marks February 15 for silver — no single verified discovery or exchange-listing date could be pinned to silver within our research (it has been known and worked since antiquity), so this date is an evenly-spaced content-calendar placeholder, not tied to a specific historical event.

MetalsCost Editorial Day — not an official international or industry observance. No single verified discovery or founding date exists for this metal, so MetalsCost assigned an evenly-spaced content-calendar date rather than inventing a claimed "day."

Why Silver Matters

Priced like a precious metal, consumed like an industrial one — silver spends half its life in jewellery boxes and the other half wired into solar panels.

Quick Fact

Mexico produces roughly a fifth of the world's mined silver in a typical year — more than the next two largest producers combined in many years.
