Own quality silver with a historical background with this 10 g Silver Money Cowries .999 – Kilo Bag (32.15 oz).
The Money Cowry, or Cypraea Moneta, is much more than just a snail shell. Used widely as currency, on almost every continent, the use of cowries as money dates back to 1200 BC. Cowries were used for centuries in Africa, and have reportedly even been used as recently as the middle of the 20th century.
Now, money cowries are available in pure fine silver. Like the small but powerful sea shell which inspired this product, these 10 gram fine silver cowries share many of the characteristics of money, such as convenience, durability and value.
Kitco offers this kilo bag of silver money cowries. Each bag contains 1 kilogram (32.15 oz) of pure fine silver. Each kilo bag is made up of 100 pure silver pieces shaped like the original Money Cowry. Each weighs 10 g (0.3215 oz). Every silver money cowry in your kilo bag is stamped with its weight of 10 g and with .999 Ag, guaranteeing the weight and purity of your silver cowries. Your kilo of silver cowries comes in a pouch made of soft sheepskin lined with bright colored African print cotton, true to the roots of the South African manufacturer.
