"5nv" is not a standard silver purity designation. In general, silver is commonly marked with 925 to indicate its purity (92.5% silver content). It is recommended to know the exact purity of silver before determining its quality.
"925" refers to the purity of the silver.
Silver purity is typically measured in terms of fineness, not carats like gold. The most common levels of silver purity are sterling silver (92.5% pure silver) and fine silver (99.9% pure silver). Other levels of purity may exist based on specific manufacturing needs or regional standards.
Circulating U.S. coins were made of .900 fine silver. The remainder was copper for hardness. Anything with a purity of .990 would be too soft to stand up to being handled in circulation.
