Provided is a silver coating composition with which excellent electric conductivity (low resistance) is achieved by baking at a low temperature for a short time and which has excellent printability. The present invention is a silver particle coating composition comprising silver nanoparticles, the surfaces of which are coated with an aliphatic hydrocarbon amine-containing protectant, and a dispersion solvent, said dispersion solvent comprising a solvent selected from a group consisting of glycol ether solvents and glycol ester solvents. Said silver particle coating composition is ideal for various kinds of printing uses such as intaglio offset printing and screen printing.
