The Nisab of silver is equivalent to 200 Dirhams or 595 grams. Nisab is the minimum threshold of wealth a person must own at which Zakat becomes payable. Most scholars prefer the lower value (silver nisab) be used because this results in more people paying Zakat and more people getting assistance from Zakat.
