Peter, my vote would be simple prices on 4 primary "investment" metals, gold, silver, platinum and palladium. After it would be day's gain(loss)...
OP, ETF's track spot pm but do not necessarily have to track it perfectly, so there is some basis risk. Only large holders of them have the right...

John means third century of course, but I agree. By the 270's or so a "silver" coin contained maybe 5% silver.
