Are you sure it's silver(II) nitrate?

Silver commonly forms a $+ I$ $+I$ oxidation state. $A g (I I)$ $Ag(II)$ is an accessible oxidation state but this is relatively rare.

On standing, solutions of silver nitrate reduce to silver metal:

$A g^{+} + e^{-} \to A g (s) ⏐ ↓$ $Ag^+ + e^(-) rarr Ag(s)darr$
