{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}Candy canes are one of the most recognized holiday treats, known for their red and white stripes and curved shape. Their exact history is unclear, but peppermint candy sticks have been connected to Christmas festivities in Europe since the 1600s. Today, 1/2 oz Candy Cane Shaped Silver Bars are available from BGASC.
Highlights:
Every 1/2 oz Candy Cane Shaped Silver Bar available here is housed in a capsule designed just for this shape. The bar fits perfectly inside, and the capsule has an ornament loop at the top so you can hang it for display during the holidays. Its a fun way to enjoy silver while adding some festive cheer.
Design
This silver bar recreates the classic candy cane design we know today. The familiar red-and-white stripes and peppermint flavor became standard features in America around the late 19th century. Over time, symbolic meanings were added to its look, such as the J shape for Jesus or the stripes representing purity and sacrifice, though these came much later.
History
According to one popular tale, in 1670 a choirmaster in Cologne, Germany, bent sugar sticks into the shape of shepherds crooks to hand out to children during long Christmas services. The story says they were meant as both a treat and a reminder of the shepherds who visited Jesus. Although its a charming story, there isnt much historical proof behind it.
