William Shakespeare is one of the greatest playwrights in human history, and the final play he is said to have written alone served as a base of inspiration for the latest release in the Silverbug Fairy Series of silver rounds. Ariel the Tree Fairy takes her place as the fourth Silver Fairy in the collection created and inspired by the Silverbug Reddit community online. Right now, 5 oz Antique Silverbug Tree Fairy Silver Rounds are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.

Each 5 oz Antique Silverbug Tree Fairy Silver Round in this release is available inside of an AirTite capsule for protection and long-term preservation. Individual rounds have edge-lettered serial numbers that correspond to the Certificate of Authenticity you receive with the purchase of your Silver Fairy Series round.
Shakespeare’s play pits revenge and bitterness against freedom and forgiveness, with the latter winning out. Ariel is the image of freedom and forgiveness in this design, displaying no signs of aggression against the powerful oak tree and expressing in form only her desire for freedom from its clutches.
On the obverse of the 5 oz Antique Silverbug Tree Fairy Silver Round you’ll find the image of Ariel as she levitates right in front of the powerful oak tree. Her angelic figure is small and docile in the face of the oak tree’s muscular, brute strength. Engravings on the round include the year of issue, “2017,” and the Silverbug motto of “In Silver We Trust.”
The reverse side of all Silverbug Tree Fairy Silver Rounds includes the image of the scarab beetle. Beginning with the third release in the series, the scarab beetle’s visual appeal was upgraded through hand-carving of the design. Included engravings on this face feature silver’s periodic element lettering “Ag,” as well as the weight, purity, and metal content. A final engraving at the bottom reads “For the Silverbug Community.”
All antique silver rounds in this collection are hand-scraped for a truly beautiful finish. The antique finish is used for many reasons on rounds, such as enhancing the intricate details already in the design and lending the appearance of ancient coinage to a product.
