This coin, with its triangle, volcano, and flag design, is made of 0.168 troy ounces of silver, and the silver gives it a base value (BV) which it can never go under. To find the BV, use a web site such as kitco.com to look up the current price of silver (it changes every day) and then multiply by 0.168. Today's silver price is about $32 US dollars per troy ounce, so the base value is 0.168 x 32 = $5.37. Even a beat-up, worn coin would be worth this much.
