We don’t cover a huge amount of undenominated stuff here, escpecially bullion bars, but there are products released that fit our market coverage quite well. Scottsdale Mint’s new Archangel Michael silver bar is one such example. Quite similar in concept to the Royal Mints Britannia and Una & the Lion bars, this one takes an iconic classical figure, one ironically with great appeal to the UK coin collector market.

There’s very little not to love about this one. Michael’s pose is quintessentially heroic in nature, the shield looks stunning as a centrepiece, and the serpent sensibly sized in relation. We often see the protaganist dwarfed by the beast he’s fighting, but Michael is supposed to be the warrior Anrchangel, so that hardly seems appropriate. The depiction is very ‘epic’.

The obverse side has the mints name running vertically, along with a half-view of their attractive logo and the inscribed specification. As for mintage, these are unlimited and each comes encapsulated. At present, there’s only a one-ounce silver (0.999), and a one ounce 0.9999 gold produced in collaboration with PAMP, on offer. A super addition to the market and we can see why the format is becoming more popular. Available now.
