Reverse — The New Mexico State Flag
The reverse displays the official New Mexico state flag in full color.At its center is the red Zia sun symbol set against a yellow field, creating one of the most recognizable state flag designs in the United States. The colorization is applied directly to the silver surface, while selected areas remain uncolored to allow the natural silver finish to show through.
This technique creates added depth and visual contrast while remaining faithful to the official flag adopted in 1925.Care Note: To help preserve the colorized finish, Scottsdale Mint recommends storing the bar in its protective capsule and avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or UV light.
The red symbol at the center of New Mexico's flag is the Zia sun symbol, a sacred emblem of the Zia people, a Native American Pueblo community located in present-day New Mexico. The design was adapted from a historic Zia Pueblo water jar and selected for the state's official flag in 1925. It was chosen to reflect New Mexico's Native American heritage while honoring the cultural traditions of the Zia people. The symbol features four groups of four rays extending outward from a central circle, with the number four holding special significance in Zia beliefs.
The rays represent:
At the center is the sun itself, symbolizing life, warmth, balance, and the passage of time.
New Mexico became the 47th state admitted to the United States on January 6, 1912. However, the region's history stretches back centuries before statehood.
Spanish settlement began in 1598, and the area remained part of New Spain for more than two centuries before becoming part of Mexico following independence in 1821. After the Mexican-American War, New Mexico became a U.S. territory in 1848. Its capital city, Santa Fe, founded in 1610, is among the oldest continuously inhabited capital cities in the United States. The state's flag reflects this layered history. The Zia sun symbolizes New Mexico's Native American roots, while the red and yellow colors honor its Spanish heritage, creating a design that represents multiple cultural influences in a simple and powerful way.
The New Mexico State Flag Silver Bar is one of 50 designs in Scottsdale Mint's U.S. State Flag Series. Every release follows the same format: 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, a Scottsdale Mint lion obverse, and a colorized state flag reverse. Collectors can purchase individual state bars or build a complete collection representing all 50 states in investment-grade silver.
