”Blackbirds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven
Upon entering the ST BEE’E SILVER website you can’t help but feast your eyes upon what is St Bee’s flagship product, the Honey Bars. If you are a hardcore loyal Hive blogger, crazy for unique silver bars, like bees, and has spare cash looking for something super shiny. St. Bee’s just may have the ultimate HIVE silver bar for you!
Regrettably, I don’t have one of these shiny honey-combed bars yet.
St Bee’s is another fine silver artist out of the United Kingdom and has an accomplished portfolio of creations and artistic style before I was aware of his products, until Nyssacat 💋 gave me a small sample of these fractional silver to examine.
Under the Gothic Category…
Wow, I like this. It’s almost symbolic of some mysterious fictional Victorian cult society. The kind of fictional occult horror literature that began and flourished in the Victorian era by writers such as Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley.
I don’t know where St Bee’s drew his inspiration for this design, but I love it! A silver round with Gothic horror elements that comes right out of the story pages of The Masquerade Vampire world.
So, if you’re still under the assumption that silver is a Vampire deterrent, think nevermore, according to Vampire Canon, silver does not affect Vampires but rather the Lycaninus (Werewolves).
Spanish or English treasure?
Very little information was upfront regarding the designs were available on either IG or the Website, it’s as if they/he/she wants the customer to guess! As a collector of replica and fantasy pirate silver, I love to guess.
This Shipwreck series Galleon coin apparently draws its inspiration from the 16th century Spanish Reale characterized by the Iconic Jerusalem cross which was also used by the Portuguese as early as the late 14th century. But hold on.
I believe this is more based on the Cross of England , for argument’s sake, let’s say…. of St George and therefore more of older pre-1400s England. We silver pirates should also keep in mind that England have used the Spanish styled Carrack, Caravels and Galleon designs in her navy for years before the more contemporary Bark/Barque sailing ship design. The famous Golden Hind was an example of an English Galleon.
The hammered coin configuration along with design elements are consistent of English money between 700-900 AD.
The Celtic styled back further implies that we are dealing with Old English treasure rather than Spanish treasure.
Cool, just check out Numista England. What do you think? Am I on the right track or am I up river without a paddle?
And the Hammered Cob replica?
I could not find this next piece listed on St Bee’s Instagram nor archived on the Website. Therefore, it may just be a spurious product for promotional purposes like a Giveaway piece or one of those clever items you impulsively add to the cart at the Check Out.
St Bee’s does offer Hallmarking on their products, a nice feature giving added value that portends a traditional authenticity to the product. Registration is processed at the Edinburgh Assay office, though Hallmarking is already with done with most of St Bee’s works it is interesting to note that the products can be available without it.
Though these fractional silvers don’t have the Hallmarking for their relative value, I would think it much more justified for their larger silver products.
One of these days I'll figure what these Latin abbreviations mean.🤔
On the Instagram page, the 20g version of this cob does come with the SBS maker’s mark.
The Website is slick but most of the action is on Instagram, you can peruse over most of the beautiful creations of St Bee’s, some selling before they could make it to the website, experimental opinion pieces, one-offs, and so on but I’m still thinking of a cool Honey Bar.
Adding English styled silver treasure into my pirate coin stack.

Then I saw the 1/4 Ounce Hammered Cob replica now that's pirate booty!!I must say you got my attention with the ST BEE’S SILVER, KILLER BEE, @kerrislravenhill!😀 A Bee with a skull head, and Bat wings, St Bee’s Silver creations are definitely one of a kind!
Then get a load of this Bee Hive booty!
A killer piece if I ever saw one.
Thanks for coming aboard @silvertop
Ohhh...... Is that iridescent on the bar @kerrislravenhill.....Beautiful!!!!🤗
Woah!
Very cool sis! You get some of the most intriguing silver pieces for sure! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week!💜🤗🌻🐝
I could be building a reputation for silver stacking oddities, silver out of the ordinary and peculiar.
Another busy week ahead. No rest for the wicked.
Thanks for the Support @elizabethbit 🖤❤️
Don't you just wish sometimes that we could time travel back to a time that was long, long ago? No traffic; no tech pulling at us and an old way of life. I don't think I'd want to stay there, but a good visit might not be a bad thing!
Don't work too hard sis!💜🤗
Long enough to find a chest full of Spanish silver pillar dollars and gold Escudos using my metal detector, steal a frigate then sail it though the time/space portal, tie her up on the Fraser river front at the quay, and be home in time to make supper for my kids.
Work hard? Never 🤞
💜🤗🌻😘

Are the crafts created by you?
They are so beautiful
What do they signify?
Regretfully, no I do not make these wonderful treasures.
St Bee's is metal pouring artist who makes coins, medallions, bars, and figures from investment grade 0.999 fine silver. Other than buying regular Investment grade silver as my savings, I also like to have fun collecting Replica or Fantasy Pirate Treasure made from silver.
They are created out of the imagination of the artist, sometime very realistic using symbols and markings of similar to coinage at the golden age of Pirates. I try to write a few imaginary stories of the pieces I collect of some forgotten cursed treasure as the Bloody Raven, Silver Pirate. ☠️

Very cool!
All for the perma-stack!!!
Hugs and kisses 🤗❤️😍
And putting them into a newly acquired Treasure chest, a lucky Thrift store find for $5. And it feels very sturdy too.
Always, with love 🤗🌺❤️
I know Pirates that would Kill for that Treasure Chest @kerrislravenhill
Really,
Sigh. It'd be cooler if I dug it up from a haunted graveyard surrounded by an alligator infested swamp, fighting off three other bands of pirates, privateers, henchmen, a cannibalistic tribe, a company of 18th century Redcoats, two IRS agents, Nancy Pelosi (move aside granny!) and a partridge in a pear tree... and sail into safe waters! ☠️
All I did was to check my Thrift store "Knick knacks" department for used Treasure Chests and voila!
There it was.😎
The wood used for that box is great! Perfect!
I've opted for leather for the succeeding case of coins.
You are so organized and I bet this briefcase goes nice with a business outfit in your closet, or at least matches a nice pair of shoes.
❤️
Hahaha!!!
I just got tired of shuffling coins,
and going through the different boxes
( I still do because this is the first one).
It's hopeless, the poured silver...there's just no way.

Amazing, Killer Bee is so gothic looking coin. It's like it is a bat that has evolved through evolution. But it's also quite charming too. It's so unique !
It would be so cool to have a handful of these fractionals but I am content to have this marvelous example as a part of my Gothic silver collection. There are a lot more to collect in the year to come.
Thank you for commenting @olympicdragon
It's right up your dark and creepy alley!
Um, what's hpud?
PD
Hpud stands for "Hive Power Up Day" where we convert our liquid Hive tokens into Hive Power. One Hive = One Hive Power. The more Hive power,the more influence you have on the blockchain including a bigger Upvote. It's an initiative to encourage all Hivers to invest into our platform and ourselves. Staking or powering up your liquid Hive at least earns you a modest interest even if you are not active on a regular basis.

Thanks for showing and sharing the Fractional Treasures, Kerris L Ravenhill - @kerrislravenhill. The smaller, the better.
Merely collecting the Odd & Peculiar in the Stacking world.

Check out some of the unique bars of this artist I've put, in some of my comments if you haven't been to the website or IG. I'm mulling over the cross over honey bar.
Thanks for the support @trumpman
Killer Bee!!!! How cool, girl!
I cannot believe Pirate Sunday has slipped my vocabulary! :)
I think I am the only Hiver posting on #piratesunday at this time. No matter, I tend to be a loner anyways. I just love to show the more peculiar silver over the regular fare.
Thanks for the company @dswigle
You had to dive into the sea to get that coins, didn't you? ;)
Not these particular silver.
I have a silver coin coming up that was recovered from an American Sidewheeler that sank in the China Sea back in 1875. Sorting through the research when I get the chance. The coin has obvious signs of exposure to heat and the elements but the type, year, and mint marks are still legible. The Ship, The SS Japan.
You find some real interesting pieces sweets. I love that you drop the history lessons, I've learned a lot from your posts!
