fine silver
999 precious metal
Fine silver is silver of the highest purity, typically 99.9% pure or greater.
Unlike sterling silver, which contains copper or other metals for durability, fine silver is too soft for most jewelry and tableware.
It appears in bullion coins, bars, and specialized applications where purity matters more than hardness: The coin contains one troy ounce of fine silver.
