Where did most of the world silver come from between 1600 and 1800 hundreds?

Between 1600 and 1800, most of the world's silver came from the Spanish colonies in the Americas, particularly from the mines in Potosí (present-day Bolivia) and Zacatecas (in Mexico). The Spanish Empire extracted vast quantities of silver, which were then shipped to Europe and Asia, significantly impacting global trade. This influx of silver not only enriched Spain but also facilitated the rise of a global economy, influencing trade patterns and monetary systems worldwide.
