Each 1 oz Colorized Dia De Los Muertos Silver Round is securely packaged in an acrylic capsule. These proof-like rounds showcase detailed designs on both sides, capturing the festive spirit of the Day of the Dead as celebrated in Mexican culture.

The origin of sugar skulls can be traced back to the 17th century when sugar art was introduced to the New World by Italian missionaries. Mexican artisans adopted this technique and incorporated it into their existing Day of the Dead traditions. Sugar was abundant and inexpensive, making it an ideal medium for creating these symbolic decorations.

The obverse side of the Colorized Dia De Los Muertos Silver Round features a striking image of a woman with makeup designed to resemble a Sugar Skull. Her figure is front and center, with a beautifully decorated street for the Day of the Dead festivities visible in the background.

On the reverse of these rounds, you’ll find a detailed Sugar Skull in the foreground, surrounded by candles. During Día de los Muertos, families create elaborate altars adorned with photos of the departed, their favorite treats, candles, and papel picado (intricate paper decorations). It is believed that during this time, the spirits return to enjoy the offerings and reconnect with their loved ones.
