The Plains bison, often called the buffalo, once roamed the North American Great Plains in vast herds numbering up to 60 million. These majestic creatures shaped the ecosystems of the grasslands through their grazing and movement, while also serving as a vital resource for Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. The 1 oz Silver Proof Domed Stackable Plains Bison Rounds honor the incredible legacy of these animals and are available now from Provident Metals.

Highlights:

• Arrives inside a protective plastic capsule!
• Ultra high-relief strike!
• Domed obverse and concave reverse!
• Contains 1 Troy oz of .999 pure silver.
• Both sides feature the front-facing effigy of an American bison.

Each 1 oz Silver Proof Domed Stackable Plains Bison Round is carefully packaged in a plastic capsule for protection. These rounds feature the same design on both sides, with the obverse showcasing a domed, ultra-high-relief image of the bison. On the reverse, the same image is struck in an incuse style, creating a concave field that allows for easy stacking.

Obverse

On the obverse of the Silver Proof Domed Stackable Plains Bison Round, youll find a powerful front-facing image of a Plains bison in a domed, ultra-high-relief strike. Inscriptions include the name of the animal and the identifying hallmarks of the round. These inscriptions read PLAINS BISON and 1 OZ 999 AG.

Reverse

The reverse of the 1 oz Silver Proof Domed Stackable Plains Bison Round features the same bison design, but with an incuse strike that sinks into the surface of the round. This side also includes an O/M mint mark and creates a functional, stackable design.

History

For more than 12,000 years, Indigenous peoples of North America followed the bisons migrations and relied on them for sustenance, shelter, and cultural practices. Unfortunately, the bison population faced a sharp decline in the 1800s due to overhunting and settlement expansion brought by European colonization.
