For the record silver as being the big thing vs werewolves is only something that emerged in the last two hundred years. The oldest attested case of silver being written about as the weapon vs werewolves was in 17th century Germany, and only a very small part of Germany, because as with the rest of Europe the "cure" or weapon against Lycanthropy has varied in folklore quiet considerably with time and place. Romans believed just exhausting the Werewolf was enough to purge the subject of the curse and make the person revert back. Variously in Medieval and Early Modern Europe it's ranged from just calling out the person's Christian name, applying wolfsbane somehow, or bopping them in the head with a piece of iron or even a small knife.
