Silver
In the French language, retained up to the forties the international language of the rich ones, the silver and the money have only one definition: "argent".
This not by chance, if we think that for centuries the silver has been synonymous of money, coin, wealth. Already in the ancient Rome the patricians gave cups and plate of silver to their own guests in sign of prodigal hospitality.
The museums show us stupendous silver china belonged to all the courts of Europe and created by artisans and famous artists.
Also in the American continent, the first navigators found silver in form of necklaces that decorated every inhabitant of Panama and Montezuma.
While for jewel, other precious metals like gold and platinum, supplanted partly the silver, instead, for the objects of common use the silver has remained the noblest substance.
Silver deposits exist all over the world. In Europe there are in France, Germany, Spain, Finland, Greece, Italy, Norway, Romania and Sweden.
