The obverse features the Elemetal "hourglass" logomark above the "ELEMETAL" wordmark, with "MINTED IN THE USA" struck below.

The reverse is struck as a periodic-table cell for silver, reading "1 TROY OUNCE .999 FINE" arced at top, "47 / Ag / Silver / 107.8682" at center, ringed by concentric orbital rings depicting silver's electron shells.

2015 Elemetal 47 Silver Round Overview

The 2015 Elemetal 47 Silver Round is a 1 troy ounce .999 fine silver bullion round produced under the Elemetal brand, the Dallas, TX–headquartered precious metals organization that unified the operations of NTR Metals, Ohio Precious Metals (OPM), and Provident Mint under a single public identity.

The obverse carries the Elemetal “hourglass”-style logomark alongside the “ELEMETAL” wordmark and the legend “MINTED IN THE USA.” The reverse turns the round into a small periodic-table cell devoted entirely to silver: the atomic number “47,” the chemical symbol “Ag,” the element name “Silver,” and the atomic weight “107.8682” are struck at center, ringed by concentric orbital rings representing silver’s electron shells, with “1 TROY OUNCE .999 FINE” arced along the upper rim.

Elemetal’s private minting arm — branded Elemetal Mint — represented the continuation of manufacturing capability that had passed from Mulligan Mint through NTR Metals’ 2014 acquisition of its manufacturing assets, and then through Provident Mint before the organization consolidated under the Elemetal name in 2015. Dealer listings for this design consistently describe Elemetal Mint’s production as combining infrastructure from OPM, NTR, and Provident, reinforcing the lineage documented on Elemetal’s Texas Stacker mint page.

2015 Elemetal 47 Silver Round Attribution

This round carries no struck date on either face. It is attributed to 2015, tied to Elemetal’s June 2015 announcement unifying its operating companies — including its minting arm — under the single Elemetal brand. Because the design is struck with the “ELEMETAL” wordmark rather than the earlier NTR Metals or OPM Metals branding it replaced, the design could not have existed prior to that rebrand. This is corroborated by a documented online sale dated October 30, 2015, consistent with a design introduced mid-year. The 2015 attribution stands pending discovery of contemporary documentation establishing an exact release date.

The “ELEMETAL” legend on the obverse is treated as the Mint Mark under this site’s standard, since a spelled-out manufacturer identification within the design legend qualifies as a mark independent of a discrete monogram or device. The round is undated but not unmarked.

2015 Elemetal 47 Silver Round Notes

• Reverse design functions as a periodic-table-style cell for silver (atomic number, symbol, name, atomic weight, and electron-shell diagram) — the “47” in the title refers to this atomic-number motif, distinguishing it from any other Elemetal design that may be catalogued later.
• Dealer listings note the round is typically packaged in a plastic flip, with an Air-Tite capsule offered as an optional upgrade.
• Diameter and thickness below are pending caliper measurement of the physical example; commonly cited dealer specs (39 mm / 3.1 mm) are noted for reference only and are not used as the entry’s measured values.
• No Set/Collection designation or formal series name has been identified for this design.
