metallist

Works with ores

A metallist is someone who advocates for a metallic standard in currency—typically gold or silver backing for money rather than paper currency alone.

The term appears in economic and monetary policy debates: Nineteenth-century metallists opposed the introduction of unbacked banknotes.

In British spelling, also metalist.

Separately, metallist can mean a worker in metals or, informally, a fan of heavy metal music.
