COLOURED MINTED SILVER BARS (2024) by Scottsdale Mint

We’ve increased our coverage of bullion bars here, mainly due to the recent popularity of Germania Mint’s coloured two-ounce cast bars, and we’ve already written a Bullion Profile to Scottsdale Mint’s flag bars.

Unlike Germania Mint’s coloured offerings, these bars are minted rather than cast, are all an ounce in weight, and an identical size (although the orientation can change from portrait to landscape).

This guide will cover everything outside the flag bars, which have their own profile, and at the time of publishing, the releases remain ongoing.

LUCKY DRAGON (2025)

01 JING

02 HUOYAN

03 TIANYI

04 KUANGYING

05 XUANHUA

Lucky Dragon is a series of five bars, each available in sequence for just one week only. The mintage will be set at whatever the orders are in that week. Very attractive art, although we’ve always been suckers for this style. There’s a very nice wooden box available for them.

ST. PATRICKS DAY SERIES (2025)

CELTIC CROSS

SAINT PATRICK

LIBERTY’S LUCKY TORCH

Continuing the celebration of holiday events with these bars, it’s Saint Patrick’s Day that is the next to join the line-up. In addition to these bars, there are also three rounds, each with a design different to those here.

GRADUATION DAY SERIES (2025)

NARWHAL JOB HUNT

SUNSET CELEBRATION

The celebratory bars seem to be getting more and more focused on specific events, and ‘Graduation Day’ is one of those. There are only two bars in this series, but two coloured rounds also accompany them.

FATHERS/MOTHERS DAY SERIES (2025)

FD PARTNER IN CRIME

FD HERO

FD FISHING LEGEND

FD DADDY’S GIRL

MD YOU’RE A QUEEN

Another celebratory event range, this one covers the Mothers Day, and Fathers Day celebrations.

EASTER SERIES (2025)

BATONI CRUCIFIXION

RAINBOW EASTER BUNNY

FAITH

FHE IS RISEN

MD YOU’RE A QUEEN

This time, there are five bars marking the Easter holiday, with a mix of the hard religious, to the kids.

VALENTINES SERIES (2025)

CUPID

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

FLEUR

SOME BUNNY LOVES YOU

ANIME VALENTINE

ROMANCE ROYALE

LUCKY LOVE

LOVE HEARTS

JUST MARRIED STARRY NIGHT

JUST MARRIED SUNSET

LOVE LOVE LOVE

The first range of 2025 is this series themed around Valentine’s Day. Much like the Christmas range, this one varies widely in subject, and most will find something appropriate to give to a loved one. In addition to these bars, there are also seven rounds, each with a design different to those here.

HALLOWEEN SERIES (2024)

BLACK CAT

GHOST

HORSEMAN

HUNTER

MUMMY

VAMPIRE

WEREWOLF

ZOMBIE

Ready for the Halloween 2024 season, a series of eight, tightly themed bars, depicting all the classic monsters most associated with the holiday. We think the Zombie, Mummy, and Black Cat designs are the best, but let’s be honest, everyone will have their own favourites. This range is unusual in not having an unlimited mintage. Each design is capped at just 499 pieces.

SPOOKY AND SWEET (2024)

CARVING TIME

SOCIAL TREATS

TRICK OR TREAT CAT

WHENS HALLOWEEN MUMMY?

These are Halloween designs for the collector who likes something a little more relaxed, or who wants to gift to a younger stacker. They’re actually pretty neat and attractive designs in their own right.

HALLOWEEN WILD WEST (2024)

PRAIRIE COWGIRL

COWBOY VIGIL

Quite an unusual theme, these are basically Wild West Halloween bars. Just a pair of them at the time of writing

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION (2024)

DONALD TRUMP

KAMALA HARRIS

At the time of publication, the debate between these two has just concluded. Of all the elections we’ve seen over the past few decades in the US, this seems to be the bitterest, and most divisive, with most of those in one camp or another at this stage, never contemplating leaving it. What’s always been a signature element of these elections, has been the imagery, and we have these two designs done in the style of Barack Obama’s ‘Hope’ poster, which was produced in 2008 by American artist Shepard Fairey. Really well realised, in our view.

AMERICANA (2024)

1776 MINUTEMEN

1776 WASHINGTON

9/11 NEVER FORGET

FLY FIGHT WIN

CROSSING THE DELAWARE

JOIN OR DIE SNAKE

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

IWO JIMA

LIBERTY EAGLE

‘MERICA EAGLE

LIBERTY FLAG

TREAD ON THEM

NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT

PATRIOTIC EAGLE

REBELLION TO TYRANTS

WASHINGTON DEAL WITH IT

AMERICANA (2025)

CLASSIC BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

PASTEL BALD EAGLE *

LADY LIBERTY *

1776 BALD EAGLE **

AMERICAN OUTLAWS **

DON’T TREAD ON ME **

WASHINGTON RIDING TO FREEDOM

STARS, STRIPES & SMILES

NO KING BUT GOD *

VICTORY OR DEATH *

ART DECO EAGLE **

LIBERTY LEAGUE **

LADY COLUMBIA **

DEFEND LIBERTY **

LIVE FREE OR DIE **

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

NOT BEGUN TO FIGHT *

A second series of Americana designs that will have plenty of appeal in the US, but leave most others scratching their heads. They’re all jingoistic, and idealistic, with guns and flags everywhere. However, being completely honest, there are also some genuinely appealing pieces in this 2025 selection, especially (in my opinion), Classic Benjamin, Pastel Bald Eagle, Liberty League, and American Outlaws.

These have a mintage of 1,776 pieces, except for the ones we’ve single asterisked, which are capped at 999, and the ones double asterisked, which have an unlimited mintage.
