There’s a new wrinkle available in the Silverbug Silver Fairy round series with the release of its third fairy design. While original designs in the series were available only in standard proof and antique finishes, but now the silver rounds are available with an exciting reverse proof finish, as well. JM Bullion currently offers the new 5 oz Reverse Proof Silverbug Alyx the Fairy Silver Round for purchase while supplies last.
Round Highlights:
- Ships to you in a protective plastic capsule.
- Maximum mintage set at 500 rounds for global distribution!
- 3rd Silverbug Silver Fairy design!
- Contains 5 Troy oz of .999 pure silver.
- Obverse features the image of Alyx, the latest fairy in the series.
- Reverse includes the revamped image of the scarab beetle.
- Features a brilliant Reverse Proof finish.
Standard proof coinage typically features a mirrored finish for the background field with a frosted design set on the surface of the product. With a reverse proof striking, these finishes are swapped to create a unique appearance. The 5 oz Reverse Proof Silverbug Alyx the Fairy Silver Round features a mirrored design set with a frosted background field.
Silverbug Silver Fairy Rounds launched in 2014 with the Ariana design. That was followed up in 2015 by the Silver Archer Fairy. Both products sold out extremely quickly, and the smaller 1 oz Silverbug Alyx the Fairy Silver Rounds followed suit. With such a low mintage of just 500 rounds, these 5 oz Reverse Proof Silverbug Alyx the Fairy Silver Rounds won’t last long either!
On the obverse of each round is the image of Alyx. She was created by legendary science fiction and fantasy artists Steve Ferris, and features a mischievous expression on her face that denotes the truth that she is bound to breakout of the bonds that hold her down any moment. Engravings including the Silverbug motto along the top and the year of issue at the bottom.
The reverse of each 5 oz Reverse Proof Silverbug Alyx the Fairy Silver Round includes the traditional scarab beetle design that has featured on the two previous Silver Fairy Rounds. This time however, the design has been revamped with a new, hand-carved finish courtesy of sculptor Luigi Badia of Italy.
Each of these 5 oz Reverse Proof Silverbug Alyx the Fairy Silver Rounds is a product of the Osborne Coin Company. Osborne can trace its roots back to the 1830s, making it the oldest private minting facility in the United States.
