5oz Highland Mint Silver Bar

About 5oz Highland Mint Silver Bars

The design on the silver bar is quite uncommon. The obverse of the bar features the image of the Walking Liberty as designed by Adolph Weinman in 1916. Beneath this design are inscriptions reading “Five Troy Ounces” and “FINE SILVER .999”. These two inscriptions are placed on top of a big inscription of the figure 5. Finally, there is a “Made in U.S.A” inscription on the far bottom of the silver bar.

The reverse of this silver bar has a simple waffle print design. All the products of Highland Mint have the “HM” mark that represents Highland Mint, and the 5 oz silver bar is no exception.

There is another form of this particular bar that has the face of Lady Liberty engraved on the obverse instead of an image of Lady Liberty walking. The face of Anne Williams, reputedly the most beautiful woman in America (at the time the design was made), was used to represent the face of Lady Liberty. But apart from the different depictions of Lady Liberty, both bars have every other design in common, including the reverse design.
