A silver art round is simply an amount of silver in a coin shape that is not legal tender anywhere and it usually has some kind of design on them. They have low collectability but are used as novelties and gifts, for example, some art rounds might have a picture of Santa saying Merry Christmas, or have a manger scene, they might have a company's logo, abstract designs, or may even copy legal tender designs (for example, a 1 ounce silver art round looking like a wheat penny). The value for most silver art rounds is the silver content in them rather than the design, however most (especially new) sell for several to tens of dollars over the price of silver in them but usually make rather poor investments.
