Because even though silver halides are way more photosensitive, silver nitrate is a bit, and storing in a bottle which lets the light pass through freely would affect it shelf life.
Silver nitrate is very susceptible to reactions that destroy it, catalyzed by short wavelength light, which is strongly absorbed by brown bottles.
Perhaps it could be photosensitive?
Because it is unstable after it hit light.
Potassium ferrocynide is stored in dark coloured bottels and kept away from sunlight.This is because it decomposes when exposed to sunlight.Thus it is always stored in amber or brown coloured bottels.
as silver is less reactive than copper the silver when immersed will loose its electrons and the copper will displace it. i apologize if it is the wrong answer.... this is actually a guess :P

because it can decompose quickly if kept in transparent bottles

as silver nitrate reacts with iron(AgNO3+Fe gives FeNO3+Ag)(decomposition reaction).
It is reacting with visible light .That is why using colored bottles.
copper is placed above the silver in the ractivity series which indicates that copper is more reactive than silver . when a copper coin is kept immersed in a solution of siler nitrate ,silver from its solution will deposit on copper coin . copper slowly displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution and the colour of solution changes from colourless to blue due to the formation of copper nitrate . the copper coin will disappear and silver will percipate out .
Copper is more reactive than silver hence copper displaces silver from silver nitrate solution.hence the solution from colourless changes to blue.
You need to give more information. What color was the coin after the reaction, and did the silver nitrate solution change color?
Some solvent or chemicals are sensitive to light, and they get oxidised when they are exposed to it.
