Silver price in Argentine Peso (ARS) — Argentina
Today, 999 fine silver costs about 3,269 ARS per gram in Argentina — roughly 101,668 ARS per troy ounce and 3,268,700 ARS per kilogram. Prices come from the global XAG/USD spot rate, converted into Argentine Peso at Argentina's parallel-market exchange rate.
How the silver price in ARS is calculated
Silver is quoted internationally in US dollars per troy ounce (XAG/USD). To express it in Argentine Peso, we convert the spot price to a per-gram figure, apply the purity factor, and convert to ARS at Argentina's parallel exchange rate — the rate at which dollars actually trade, rather than the lower official Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) rate.
Silver units and purities (gram, ounce, kilogram)
One troy ounce equals 31.1035 grams and one kilogram is 1,000 grams, so the per-ounce price is the per-gram price times 31.1035, and the per-kilo price is times 1,000. Purity is given in thousandths: 999 is fine (investment) silver, 925 is sterling, 900 and 800 are common in coins. A 925 piece is worth about 92.5% of the 999 price for the same weight.
Why silver prices follow the parallel market in Argentina
Argentina's "dólar blue" exists because the cepo limits official dollar access — alongside financial rates like the MEP and CCL. Like gold, silver is a dollar-priced store of value, so its ARS price climbs as the parallel rate weakens. Tracking silver in Argentine Peso gives a low-cost read on the same currency pressures that move gold and the street dollar.
