You can learn a little more about 2 oz silver below.

Simple Choices

Sugar Skulls – a Notable Example of 2 oz Silver

Another unique release that is regularly issued by a private mint comes from Monarch Precious Metals. Each year, Monarch issues silver Day of the Dead Skulls in honor of the Mexican cultural celebration known as Dia de Muertos. Beginning on Halloween and running through November 2^nd, the three-day celebration is a time for those of Mexican heritage to stop the hustle-and-bustle of life to remember those dearly departed. Rather than a mournful time, Dia de Muertos is meant to be a time to celebrate the life of those who have gone before.

One of the prominent pieces of Dia de Muertos celebrations is the use of sugar skulls. Also known as the Calavera, sugar skulls have a long history that predates the arrival of Christians in Central America. It is rooted in ancient Aztec celebrations that were eventually combined with those of the Spanish Christians that colonized the region. Sugar skulls were initially meant as decorative pieces to honor the dead by adorning their graves. In the modern era, sugar skulls have become a fun treat passed out to young children during the festival period.

Monarch Precious Metals primarily refines sugar skulls in 2 oz silver. The 3D skulls have a flat reverse, with brilliant relief and detail on the obverse. The “smiling” skulls are offered with different design elements ornately included within the silver skulls. For example, the Marigold release has marigold flowers included throughout the image of the skull. Alternatively, the Rose release replaces the marigold with countless rose petals throughout the design of the skull.

Another unique facet of these Monarch Precious Metals silver skulls is the toning. Monarch produces the skulls in several batches, resulting in different toning possible depending on the specific batch the skull was produced in. While some of the toning results in simple colors of grey-and-black or a told hue, others offer a range of toning colors such as blues, purples, and even several colors on one skull.

Other 2 oz Silver Bar Types

As mentioned earlier, there are an ever-growing number of 2 oz silver bar types, styles, and finishes available to buyers. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of some of the common styles/types of 2 oz silver:

• Antique 2 oz silver – these bars feature an antique polish that delivers unique visuals reminiscent of ancient pieces that have been lost to the world for centuries.
