SILVEROOS CUSTOM MINTED ROUNDS

Here is a pic of one of my old copper bars.... you could use that sort of design and just face the roo the other way.

OZ,,That bar does not need to say anymore apart from the fact the Roo is going backwards

I still think a 1/2 oz Bar would be the way to go.  A bit like to ABC 1/2 oz (Tablet they called it) of the Eureka
 
If you are looking to get silver bars made, the link below is to a company in Victoria who can do it. You will need an ABN to order. Minimum order is only 100 ounces + tooling cost.

Hopefully, the issues of these rounds/bars will be a regular event!
However, I am not a fan of collecting eclectic collections! I would prefer uniformity, that is, once Silveroos decide that they want bars or rounds, then that's the format that should be followed for all the other issues. 
Ditto for half oz or full oz 
As for mintages, as low as possible!
The ideal mintage for me would be the approximate number of registered Silveroo members on a certain date, let's say on the 1st September
Assuming we have on that day 220 registered members, then a limited mintage of 250 would make my day.
To create exclusivity, only registered members can buy one!
To reward registered members who have been making a contribution to this forum allow them to buy up any unsold rounds after a week.
No free lunches please, let's all carry our weight and pay at least a $5 premium per round above the actual cost of producing them.
I don't like sites that are always begging for donations which haven't happened here. Hopefully, some of the premiums will continue to keep this site free
Will these rounds sell out like hotcakes; I have no doubt.
Will they increase in value in the future; I also have no doubt.
Will I be buying one; definitely!
 
OK let's get the ball rolling. Ive mocked up a design for comment and no Im not a sensitive artist :)

RE CAPTION: What ever we put here [if we do] it needs to be short and succinct due to font size. A few words that seem to be floating around are: freedom, censorship, we are free, covid intolerant, True Freedom from censorship and financial control, The Great Escape, Freedom from Censorship.

The first thing that came to my head was: Freedom over fear.

AND GO!

I started to think about how RCM uses a Maple as an emblem and the Britannia's use the Trident so though we could add the Crux Australis or even the Eureka cross giving homage to the 1854 rebellion at Eureka Stockade. Another though instead of a frosted background maybe a textured one once again like RCM etc.

Thoughts??

By the way I have zero idea how a die is made so all elements would be cost dependant I guess.

I am absolutely blown away by what you've created. IMO - that's the perfect design. The "freedom over fear" is excellent and brilliantly placed. Man...you've nailed it. I applaud you, sir.

 
I also really like the placement of 2022. It's like the Krugerrands and I've always been a fan.

I like it too.How the other side would look?

We have the option to do the other side of the round, but it will cost an additional $650 for the stamp - bringing the total costs of the stamps to $1300. My suggestion was to use the SBA stamp on the back. You can see the design in the pic below.

I will create a poll to vote on the designs you have created. I will also send SBA an email tonight to check about the backgrounds. I think They'll be able to handle the backgrounds/finish themselves, they just need a design for the round. I'll check and post the answer in this thread once I have it.

OK let SBA know that we can supply vector art or any format they require.
 
Here are all versions for reference.D & E have changes to 999 fine silver text as a variation.
