The obverse of the 1 oz Colorized California State Flag Silver Bar showcases the majestic crowned lion of the Scottsdale Mint. This powerful lion, with a crown resting on its brow, is a symbol of the mint’s excellence. Engravings on this side of the bar include the name of the mint, the weight, metal content, and purity of the bar.

On the reverse side, you’ll find a vibrant, colorized depiction of California’s state flag. Known as the Bear Flag, California’s flag was officially adopted on February 3, 1911, though its roots go back to 1846. The flag features a large brown California grizzly bear, standing proudly on a patch of green grass, with a red stripe along the bottom edge. A red five-pointed star sits above the bear, and the words “CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC” are displayed to the left. The star is believed to have been chosen as a nod to the Republic of Texas, which had recently gained its independence from Mexico.

The grizzly bear on the flag holds particular significance. The California grizzly bear, now extinct, was once numerous in the state and was considered a symbol of strength and independence. The last known California grizzly was shot in 1922, but the bear remains an important part of California’s identity and history. The bear on the current flag is modeled after a preserved specimen named “Monarch,” which was the last known living California grizzly in captivity.

Each of these 1 oz Colorized Scottsdale California State Flag Silver Bars comes in a protective capsule. The Scottsdale Flag Bar Series includes a unified obverse design across all 54 releases, while the reverse showcases the unique flag of each state, along with four additional flags.
