Obverse

The obverse of the Colorized Scottsdale California State Flag Silver Bar features the iconic crowned lion of the Scottsdale Mint. This bold lions head, complete with a crown, is a symbol of the mints quality and craftsmanship. The obverse also includes engravings for the mint’s name, the weight, metal content, and purity of the silver bar.

Reverse

On the reverse, the 1 oz Colorized California State Flag Silver Bar proudly displays a colorized version of the California state flag, also known as the Bear Flag. Officially adopted on February 3, 1911, this flag has its origins in the Bear Flag Revolt of 1846. The flag features a brown California grizzly bear standing on green grass, with a red stripe running along the bottom. A red star is positioned above the bear, with the words “CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC” to the left. The designer’s inspiration for the star came from the Lone Star of the Republic of Texas, which had gained its independence from Mexico a decade earlier.

History

The words “CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC” on the flag refer to the short-lived California Republic, which was proclaimed by the Bear Flag rebels in 1846. This independent republic lasted only 25 days before U.S. forces took control of California during the Mexican-American War. Despite its brief existence, the concept of the California Republic has remained a point of pride for many Californians.
