The North American Plains bison, also known as buffalo, once roamed the continent in vast herds numbering up to 60 million animals, serving as a keystone species that shaped the ecology and human cultures of the Great Plains for thousands of years. These massive grazers maintained the grassland ecosystems through their feeding patterns, wallowing behaviors, and nutrient cycling, while providing essential resources for Indigenous peoples who developed sophisticated hunting techniques and spiritual practices centered around the bison. Right now, 1 oz Proof Silver Domed Stackable Plains Bison Rounds celebrate this majestic beast and are available from JM Bullion.
Round Highlights:
Each 1 oz Proof Silver Domed Stackable Plains Bison Round offered here is individually packaged with a protective capsule. These rounds have the same design on both sides, with one field featuring a domed, ultra-high-relief image of the American bison. The other side offers the same primary visual element with a incuse strike that sinks that image of the bison into surface of the piece.
Archaeological evidence suggests that Native Americans had been hunting bison for at least 12,000 years, developing complex social organizations and seasonal movements that followed the herds’ migrations. The arrival of European settlers marked the beginning of a devastating decline in bison populations, reaching its peak during the systematic slaughter of the mid-to-late 1800s.
On the obverse of the Proof Silver Domed Stackable Plains Bison Round, you’ll find the front-facing effigy of a mighty Plains bison. On this side, the round has a domed design strike with the imposing appearance of the bison accompanied by the name of the animal, as well as the identifying hallmarks of the round. The reverse of the 1 oz Proof Silver Plains Bison Round comes with the same image, this time struck incuse into the field of the round. This is accompanied by an O/M mint mark.
