The American flag has gone through many changes since it was first adopted in 1777. That original version included thirteen red and white stripes and thirteen white stars on a blue field, symbolizing the original colonies. Today, SilverTowne honors the flag’s current design with a silver bar that offers a practical feature: it can be divided into smaller pieces. Right now, BullionMax has 1 oz SilverTowne Divisible American Flag Silver Bars available for purchase.

Bar Highlights:

• Arrives in a protective plastic flip!
• American flag design theme!
• Silver bar easily divides into four 1/4 oz silver pieces!
• Hand-divisible silver!
• Contains 1 Troy oz of .999 pure silver in total.
• The obverse features the SilverTowne mint mark and identifying hallmark for each quarter piece.
• On the reverse is a singular American flag design.

Each 1 oz SilverTowne Divisible American Flag Silver Bar comes sealed in a protective plastic flip. This silver bar is a versatile piece for those who collect, invest, or simply want to be prepared. The bar features a detailed American flag on the back and can be broken apart by hand into either two half-ounce or four quarter-ounce bars. When divided, the flag image splits across the pieces, with one showing the stars and the others showing stripes. Each smaller piece still carries its own mint mark and details.

In the early days of the nation, the flag changed frequently as new states were added. Originally, Congress added both stars and stripes for each new state, but by 1795, this became unwieldy. So in 1818, a new rule was put in place: keep the thirteen stripes and only update the number of stars. Since then, the flag’s design has remained steady, with new stars added each July 4th after a state joined the Union.

The front (obverse) of each SilverTowne Divisible American Flag Silver Bar has the bar’s important markings and the SilverTowne mint mark. These include the weight, purity, and metal type for each quarter-ounce section. All this information is laid out vertically on each piece.

On the back (reverse), you’ll see a single image of the current American flag. While the number of stars has increased over time, the overall look of the flag hasn’t changed much since 1818. The last star was added in 1960 when Hawaii became a state.
