Roman numerals first appeared in ancient Rome around the 7th century BCE and were used throughout the Roman Empire for more than a thousand years. This system, which developed from Etruscan numerals, used a combination of Latin letters to represent numbers. Scottsdale Mint brings this historic number system to life with modern silver bars that showcase strength and tradition. Right now, you can find 5 oz Scottsdale Silver Imperium Collection V5 Bars available at BullionMax.

Each 5 oz bar in the Scottsdale Silver Imperium Collection comes sealed in protective plastic.

The bar features an industrial finish and includes the mint’s logo as a mark of quality.

In Roman numerals, the letter V is used to represent the number five. It’s essential for building numbers like VI (6), VII (7), and VIII (8), as it pairs with the numeral I. Unlike some Roman numerals, V isn’t repeated in sequence and always stands for the value of five, no matter where it appears in a number.

On the obverse side of the bar, you’ll see the Scottsdale Lion positioned at the top, with identifying details such as weight and purity at the bottom. In the center of the bar is the bold Roman numeral V. This symbol has roots that possibly come from an open hand showing five fingers or an older Etruscan symbol for five. The reverse of the bar is left blank.
