Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events [Text Block]	10 - Subsequent Events In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Trust as of and for the period ended June 30, 2014, management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Trust through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, except as set forth below. The Sponsor expects to determine that (i) following the publicly announced discontinuation of the London Fix on August 14, 2014, the price of silver fixed by CME Group/Thomson Reuters as of any date (the “London Silver Price”) will fairly represent the commercial value of the Trust’s silver on such day and shall be used in the daily evaluation of the Trust's silver; and (ii) with effect on and after September 16, 2014, the "Benchmark Price" (as such term is used in the Trust Agreement), as of any day, will be such day's London Silver Price.
