Founded in 2025, ISD was created to raise awareness of silver’s critical role in human civilization, past, present, and future.

From ancient coins and empires to today’s solar panels, electric vehicles, and medical technologies, silver has powered progress for over 5,000 years. Yet despite its importance, silver remains one of the most underrecognized and overlooked elements in both public awareness and global policy.

ISD exists to change that.

This day brings together educators, investors, artisans, industry professionals, and silver enthusiasts to celebrate silver’s monetary legacy, industrial utility, and cultural symbolism. It’s a time to reflect on the past and ignite new conversations about silver’s role in the world’s future.
