This chart is updated once a year in February. On occasion, given extraordinary moves in the prices of silver and gold, it may be updated at other times during the year.

This chart is the price of silver in ounces of gold, but on a yearly basis instead of a daily one. During times of turmoil, when both gold and silver are rising, silver tends to outperform gold dramatically. This chart is annotated for wars and other tumultuous events.

Data for the prices of silver and gold comes from the daily London Fix and is available on Kitco's website.
