Howdy folks.
Well, it's Super Bowl Sunday, which is pretty much a national holiday here in the US.
This year the game is in New Orleans, Louisiana, so let's take a look at a poured silver fleur de lis.
A fleur de lis is a stylized lily or lotus flower that represents perfection, purity and nobility. It's most notable associated with France and the French Monarchy and is prevalent in New Orleans due to the city being founded in 1718 by French colonists.
This particular piece was poured by Toxic Bullion and clocks in at a chunky 1.7 troy ounces of silver.
I'm going to toss the super bowl squares board here so you can follow along while the game is on.
PRIZES
1st quarter winner: 75 HIVE
2nd quarter winner: 100 HIVE
3rd quarter winner: 75 HIVE
Final score winner: 250 HIVE
At the end of every quarter, the last digit from each team's score is how the winner is determined. For example, if the Chiefs are up 13-7 at halftime, the person that owns the "3" box for Kansas City and "7" for Philadelphia would be the winner, claiming the prize for that portion of the contest.
I'm not sure if I'll be watching the game but if I do I can guarantee I'll be muting the stupid commercials.
