The reason gold is more precious than silver is explained in Chassidus: the root of Gevurah is higher than the attribute of Chesed. Indeed, in the Geulah, the main service will be through the Leviim who represent gold. However, currently during Galus, we must include Gevuros within Chassadim, therefore the current service is through the Kohanim who correspond to Chesed, represented by silver.

The Baal Shem Tov explains the verse "We will make you golden chains with silver studs" - although the main service and its beginning is through gold which represents fear, nevertheless silver, meaning yearning, is the point of the service. He compared this to someone who learned metalworking but didn't know that to begin the work, one must ignite the gold with fire, for without doing so the gold cannot be melted.
