Silver has played a significant role in the world economy as a universally valued commodity and, in most places, a currency. New World Silver (1500 - 1875) More significant improvements in technology and discovery of the "New World" in 1492 led to a vast storehouse of mined silver that expanded silver production by nearly an order of magnitude, most particularly in the development of the mercury amalgamation process. The rate at which global silver production increased over the past century is quite astonishing. When Columbus arrived in America (1492), the world was only producing 7 million oz of silver a year. Today, the world’s largest primary silver mine, Fresnillo’s Sauicto Mine, produced three times that amount in just one year (22 million oz, 2016). Yes, we have come along way in 500 years. The Silver Trade, Part 1 The story of silver in China is really interesting and has been misunderstood for a long time. From 1500 to 1800, Mexico and Peru produced something like 85 percent of the world's silver. During that same period at least a third and some people would say over 40 percent of all that silver eventually wound up in China. Economic Effects in Spain . Discovering the New World was an undeniable victory for explorers from the 16 th to the 18 th century, but Spanish conquest of the New World would cause economic instability throughout Eurasia. In the early 1500s Spain inhabited most of Mesoamerica and Northern South America. Global Silver Trade 1450-1750 1. GLOBAL SILVER TRADE 2.
