What is American Reserve?

American Reserve products exemplify their name. Refined and minted by Asahi Refining USA, the journey of these items begins with American-mined silver and gold. The metals are refined to .999+ grain at Asahi’s Utah facility before being shipped to Miami, Florida. There, they are minted into bars and rounds, showcasing the Columbia design and the American Reserve logo.

Who is Columbia?

Columbia, a personification of the United States, became a significant figure in the late 18th century. Her name, derived from Christopher Columbus, signifies the European discovery and colonization of the Americas. Columbia represented the ideals, virtues, and spirit of the new nation, becoming a patriotic symbol during its formative years.

By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Columbia’s image began to evolve and, in some contexts, decline. The Statue of Liberty, dedicated in 1886, began to supplant Columbia as the primary female personification of American ideals in many popular and official contexts. Additionally, Uncle Sam, a male personification of the United States government, gained prominence, particularly in political cartoons and recruitment posters. Despite this shift, Columbia continued to appear in various forms, including as the logo for Columbia Pictures and in the naming of the nation’s capital, the District of Columbia.
