The thermoelectric transport coefficients of silver and gold plasma have been calculated within the relaxation-time approximation. We considered temperatures of 10-100 kK and densities of {rho} < or approx. 1 g/cm{sup 3}. The plasma composition was calculated using a corresponding system of coupled mass action laws, including the atom ionization up to +4. For momentum cross sections of electron-atom scattering we used the most accurate expressions available. The results of our modeling have been compared with other researchers' data whenever possible.
