Fans of precious metal are aware of the Silverbugs. This well-known Reddit community is made up of silver aficionados who take their passion for precious metals to a whole new level.
The Silverbugs became well-known in 2014 when a number of silver rounds were launched in their honor. These rounds, which were first created by the North American Mint, had designs created and selected by Silverbugs.
Intaglio Mint has its own take: which are six releases of the Silver Bug Collection from Intaglio Mint. Each release in the series features a new bug on the obverse of these rounds, which are struck for the silver collector in everyone.
The Coccinella Magnifica (Lady Bug) art medal is a stunning piece inspired by silver enthusiasts and collectors.
Here are the key details:
Design: Rendered in ultra-high relief, this medal features micro-engraved details that mimic the intricate nature of the ladybug.
Specifications:
Weight: 2 troy ounces
Diameter: 39mm
Thickness: Approximately 6mm
Purity: .999 fine silver
Edge: Reeded
Finish: Brilliant Uncirculated
Obverse: The front showcases the Coccinella Magnifica (Lady Bug) in ultra-high relief, surrounded by a stippled border reading “ALL HAIL THE SILVERBUG” above and “IN SILVER WE TRUST” below.
Reverse: The back features the Intaglio Mint logo in ultra-high relief, set on a radial burst. It’s encircled by a stippled border reading “TWO TROY OUNCES” above and “.999 FINE SILVER” below, flanked by lightning bolts.
Purpose: This art medal pays tribute to the collector community and emphasizes Intaglio Mint’s commitment to quality silver products and education in stacking, collecting, and numismatics.

While this is not evident in the photographs above, the silver round's reverse features a larger Intaglio Mint logo and a "radial burst" surrounding it, both of which have a steep pitch that reflects light and creates an eye-catching play on light. The extra relief detail in the design makes this coin really stand out! Superb workmanship and quality; the sculptors deserve praise.
Amazingly lovely Lady Bug 2 oz silver round! This round's details are just fantastic! I can't bring myself to look away from it!
