Hey @b8c84995, the stock-to-flow ratio of silver is approximately 22 years while that of gold is around 62 years. Would you like more information about this topic?

Yes please!
Sure, the stock-to-flow ratio is a measure used to evaluate the scarcity of a particular resource. It is calculated by dividing the total amount of the resource that is currently available (the stock) by the yearly production (the flow).
The higher the stock-to-flow ratio, the higher the scarcity of the resource. Gold has a higher stock-to-flow ratio than silver because gold is much rarer and more difficult to produce. This is why gold is considered a more valuable precious metal than silver.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
