Silver-zinc is an uncommon alloy consisting of silver and zinc. It is white to gray in color and does not have magnetic properties. The alloy has not been used commonly for coinage; Krause's Standard Catalog of World Coins includes only one listing for a silver-zinc coin, a 1941 2 franc pattern coin of Switzerland.
