Well hello. The next Welcome to Silverbug Island I am showing is the 2016 Silverbug Mermaid. We either missed the second one (the first kraken) or it’s buried somewhere in the safe.
I really like the design on the Mermaid it's so detailed but so incredibly shiny. I took it outside to take a picture to see if I could see the sky reflected in it. I definitely could see blue sky along with my umbrella too.
Limited Mintage on the Proof of 10,000
1ozt of .999FS
North American Mint
The proof is side stamped with its unique number.
The obverse features the beautiful mermaid under the sea opening a chest of silver coins. There is a sunken ship behind her. You can see three different dolphins swimming around her. There are also three fish swimming round too. Two of them are so tiny. The year 2016 is on this side too.
The reverse is the familiar pirate ship and the island of coins. Along with Welcome to Silverbug Island and the weight and purity.
Thanks for looking! I don’t know about you but I am counting down to the long Memorial weekend. Two more work days left! ☺
