The Silverbugs are a group of silver enthusiasts who share their thoughts and feelings in a Reddit community. Members of this community share their opinions with one another on silver round collections and silver bullion coin designs, as well as discussing their favorite authorized dealers on the community as well. The Silverbug community had a voice in the design of each of the fairies to appear in the Silver Fairy Round Series.

Obverse

On the obverse side of 5 oz Silver Reverse Proof Silverbug Ariana Rounds is a depiction of Ariana, the beloved fairy of the Silverbug community. She is depicted on tip-toes kneeling down with her right hand outstretched holding the balance scales. There is a sunburst from behind her figure with a beaded edge around the design field. Inscriptions include the date of release for this design and In Silver We Trust, the motto of the Silverbugs.

Reverse

The reverse face of the 5 oz Silver Reverse Proof Silverbug Ariana Round includes a common design element used throughout the series. All rounds in this collection come with the stylized depiction of a Scarab beetle. The stylized beetle has swooping wings with ornate limbs and a circle where its head would be that reads Ag. The other inscriptions on this face include Five Troy Ounce, 999 Fine Silver, and For the Silverbug Community.

History

Osborne Mint was among the many private mints in the United States issuing Silverbug-themed round designs. Taking over for the North American Mint, Osborne revived the beautiful Ariana design for this reverse proof release. Original options included proof and antique rounds, but these reverse proofs deliver a new visual set with mirrored designs overlaying frosted fields.
