2025 Samoa America’s Big Five Bison 5 oz Silver Ultra High Relief Gilded Oval Coin

The American Bison – A Tribute to America’s Wildlife

The American Bison, an enduring symbol of strength and resilience, is the first release in the “America’s Big 5” series. Known for its role in the North American Great Plains ecosystem, the bison represents the pioneering spirit and successful conservation efforts. Once nearing extinction, these majestic animals have made a remarkable comeback.

The coin’s design highlights the American Bison in Yellowstone National Park, surrounded by prairie dogs, butterflies, cowbirds, and bees, illustrating the bison’s crucial role in the ecosystem. Prairie dogs dig burrows in bison-grazing grounds, while wildflowers and grasses flourish, supported by bison activities. The bees depicted gather nutrients from bison dung, underscoring the interconnectedness of the landscape and its wildlife.

The antiqued ultra-high relief finish and selective gold gilding bring the intricate design to life.
