What specifics are you referring to? Everything you need to know is right there- .999 fineness, one troy ounce, 480 grains. It is just a privately produced silver round.

I think he's trying to find the private mint, etc... I know I've seen a few of these before.

Similar pieces are listed in Unusual World Coins, 4th Edition. I might be the product of the Crabtree Mint in CA.

I did read the coin. I was just curious why I have never seen a coin like this before. What is it used for? Where did it come from? Does it have a specific name?

It's not a coin, but a round (it has no denomination, like $1, $2 etc) but it does have metal type and fineness. Thus, it is a privately struck round with its value based on spot silver price.

Like yotie said it is just one oz of silver.
Its like a silver bar only round with a design that says what it is. It was minted at a privet mint that produces silver bullion for investment purposes. By todays market its about a $15 piece.
Technically I would not call it a coin rather a round.

Some of the more "coin-like" rounds have been given an entry in the Krause "Unusual World Coins" book. This one has; it's listed under United States / Universal Silver as KMX# 10.
No issuer listed, and only 1973 appears as a date; this one's dated 1974. The 1973 is listed at being almost double bullion value, for some reason.
Unfortunately, the book doesn't give an issuer, and I can't find it on NumisMaster.
