Edit: perhaps this indicates the agreed, global price of silver and gold? The current pricing of PMs are set against fiat currencies. When they vaporise, a new PM based currency will be a re-evaluation. The document states that these coins can be used as legal tender. I'm just speculating but I don't think these are simply commemorative issues.
