The 1 oz Michigan State Flag Silver Bar (Colored) is a full-color collectible bar with an impressive .999 fine silver content and a colourful detailed depiction of Michigan's state flag on the reverse. This bar was minted by the private American precious metals and collectibles manufacturer Highland Mint and is part of a 50-state collection of investment-grade silver bars, the Stacking Across America Flag Bar Series, which features a bar for each of the 50 states that honors its distinctive flag, history and identity.
Especially for the Michigander who seeks to pay tribute to his home state, the silver collector who wants to assemble a 50-state collection, or just about any other kind of collector looking for a truly unique piece for a gift, this bar offers both the intrinsic value of .999 fine silver and the satisfying and deep symbolism of one of the most complex state flags in the United States.
Each bar is delivered in a sealed protective acrylic capsule to keep the coloured surface for long term display and storage.
Highland Mint's 50-piece Stacking Across America Flag Bar Series is made up of one bar per U.S. state with the state flag shown in full color on each. Each of the 50 bars has the same basic specifications (1 troy oz, .999 fine silver, colorized reverse, acrylic capsule), but each features a different state flag design on the reverse, creating a complete set of 50 ounces of American state diversity.
Key series features:
BOLD Precious Metals offers several state designs of the series "Stacking Across America", inquiring our staff about other state designs available.
Michigan's state flag is one of the most heraldically complex of all the 50 states of the U.S., containing a rich coat of arms with much symbolism to represent Michigan's natural heritage, its status as a border state, its dedication to peace and defense and its being a peninsula state defined by the Great Lakes.
A deep blue field with the Michigan Coat of Arms in the center makes up the centerpiece of the flag. The following is the meaning behind each element:
Bald Eagle (above the shield): National crest, the American bald eagle is perched above the shield, holding a branch in one talon (representing peace), and arrows in the other (representing readiness for war). It's there that Michigan's identity is tied to the federal government and the Union. The eagle holds a national motto, E Pluribus Unum — Latin for "Out of many, one" — which is important to Michigan's standing in a nation.
Elk (left supporter): Left is a bull elk, symbolizing Michigan's abundant wildlife and natural resources. The elk was part of the Michigan environment at the time the coat of arms was designed by Lewis Cass in 1835, and the representation reflects its environment. Interestingly, heraldic experts find both the elk and the moose on Michigan's coat of arms were "supposedly based on the coat of arms of the Hudson's Bay Company" — the famous British fur-trading company that controlled North American trade for centuries, and was a major part of early North American history.
In addition to the elk as a symbol of Michigan's wilderness identity, the Moose (right supporter) is shown to the right of the shield. Like the elk, the moose was present in Michigan at the time of statehood, and symbolizes the rich natural heritage that characterizes the Great Lakes.
The Shield: The middle piece of the coat of arms shows a scene of great strength – a buckskin-clad frontiersman standing on a peninsula by the coast of a Great Lake, with a yellow sun rising over the blue lake waters. His right hand is extended in a gesture of peace, his left holding a rifle, indicating that Michigan is a peaceful people, but ready to defend the State and Nation. Michigan's commitment to protection is symbolized by the word "Tuebor" (Latin for "I will defend" displayed on a red ribbon on the shield.
The man on the international boundary is intentionally sited at the "edge of land and water" where Michigan's Great Lakes borders Canada.
Below the shield Michigan's state motto in Latin is displayed in a white banner (The State Motto Banner):
Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam, Circumspice — "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.
The meaning of this motto is thought to be in reference to the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, the area most recognizable to people outside the state, the shape of which is reminiscent of a mitten. The state of Michigan was added to the Union in 1837 because of a territorial compromise which gave a strip of land along the southern border to Ohio in the process, thus creating the unique two-peninsula geography of Michigan.
The Michigan coat of arms has three different Latin mottoes, which uniquely represent three aspects of state identity:
| Motto | Latin | Translation | Symbolized by |
|---|---|---|---|
| E Pluribus Unum | On eagle | "Out of many, one" | The bald eagle and national unity |
| Tuebor | Red ribbon | "I will defend" | Rifle in frontiersman's hand; arrows in eagle's talons |
| Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice | Base banner | "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you" | The frontiersman's greeting; the sun; olive branches |
These three mottos collectively encompass the multi-layered identity of Michigan as a part of the American Union, a state dedicated to self-defence and a state that is blessed with great natural beauty.
Michigan's state flag has undergone a number of distinct phases, each reflecting the state's evolving identity and political situation:
1835 — The first Great Seal of Michigan was designed by Michigan's second (non-acting) Territorial Governor, Lewis Cass, in 1835, the same year that Michigan's constitutional convention convened for the purpose of granting statehood. The flag's design was launched by the seal's coat of arms that included all the main design elements that remain with the flag today: the eagle, the elk, the moose, the frontiersman, the shield and the mottoes.
Michigan became a state on January 26, 1837, and its first state flag was designed the same year, with the state coat of arms on one side, and Governor Lewis Cass's portrait and an eagle on the other. The first flag was not standardized and was executed in many different ways.
1865 — First Official Flag Adopted: In 1865, Michigan officially adopted its first flag after the Civil War. Adjutant-General Robertson recommended and Governor Crapo approved this flag, which was to be a blue field with the Arms of the State of Arkansas on one side and the Arms of the United States on the other.
The Michigan Legislature officially adopted the present flag design on April 29, 1911, which is a single-sided blue field with the state coat of arms design in it. This design is one of the oldest of the U.S. state flags, having stayed the same for more than 110 years. Also under this 1911 act the exact configuration of the coat of arms was established.
In the modern period, the Michigan Legislature is the only important legislative action that has occurred in regard to the flag since the year of 1972 when an official pledge to the state flag was authorized.
This silver bar is a full colour print of the current standardized 1911 design, in the manner that has been Michigan's constant symbol of Statehood for more than 100 years.
