Hi, I've got this 1974 Barbados proof set of coins and I'm struggling to find information about them on the internet. I've read in some places that the $5 and $10 coins are 80% and 92.7% silver respectively although other places seem to suggest the coins are not silver at all. From what I've read it seems like there are silver and non silver versions of these $5 and $10 coins. Does anyone have any idea of the possibility of my coins here (pictured) containing any silver?
Thanks.

Hi

I believe that the $5 coin contains about an ounce of .800 silver and that the $10 coin contains 37.9 grams of .925 silver
