Trick-or-treating has roots in several European customs, including the Celtic practice of souling and the English tradition of guising. In souling, people would visit homes on All Souls Day to offer prayers for the departed in exchange for food. This Halloween-inspired silver bar features three stacked gnomes dressed in costumes, each with a trick-or-treat bucket.

Design

The obverse of the Silver Stacked Gnomes Trick or Treat Bar shows three gnomes standing on each others shoulders. The top gnome wears a ghost-style hat, the middle gnome carries a Jack-o-Lantern, and the bottom gnome holds buckets for candy. The reverse side of the 1 oz Silver Stacked Gnomes Trick or Treat Bar is blank.

History

In the United States, trick-or-treating became a regular Halloween activity during the 1920s and 1930s. It temporarily stopped during World War II because of sugar rationing. In the 1950s, growing suburban neighborhoods, safe streets, and a focus on family life helped trick-or-treating become a lasting tradition. Inscriptions include TRICK OR TREAT on a gnome’s sign on the obverse, with ONE TROY OUNCE and 999 FINE SILVER on the reverse.
