Before the advent of Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam as emblems of the United States of America, the colonists in America turned to the goddess Columbia as a symbol of the freedom and limitless ideals they sought in the creation of a new nation.

The name “Columbia” is a poetic construction based on Christopher Columbus’s surname. Although Columbus never actually reached the mainland of North America, he was widely credited with discovering the New World. The feminization of his name to create a goddess figure was in keeping with the classical tradition of personifying countries and ideals as female figures. This naming also linked the new nation to the idea of discovery and a new beginning.

All 1 oz American Reserve Columbia Goddess Silver Bars are available with individual plastic packaging. These bars are uniquely American, not just in their design but also in their makeup. Asahi Refining USA sourced the raw silver from within the United States and refined it to .999+ fine silver grain at their Utah facility. It was then transported to Miami, Florida, and minted into silver rounds and bars under the American Reserve brand.

The obverse of the American Reserve Columbia Goddess Silver Bar comes with a depiction of the American Reserve brand logo. The logo consists of interlaced AR initials at the center with a rocky background texture. In addition to the Asahi mint mark at the bottom, the top features crossed pick axes as a nod to the iconic American mining industry.

On the reverse of 1 oz Columbia Goddess Silver Bars, you will find Joel Iskowitz’s modern effigy of the goddess known as Columbia. Her figure is shown in front-facing relief as she carries the American flag in her left hand and holds a torch aloft in her right hand. Her head is turned up toward the torch as its radiant rays of light splash across the bar.
