2025 Mesa Grande Sovereign Nation $1 1-oz American Bison Silver Coin

Experience the power and beauty of North America’s iconic plains bison with this second release from the American Bison Series, struck on behalf of the Mesa Grande Sovereign Nation. Designed by award-winning illustrator Beth Zaiken, each coin captures two magnificent bison locked in a dramatic head-to-head battle—an artistic tribute to the buffalo’s strength and resilience.

Beth Zaiken’s “Bucking Bronco” Liberty design earned Best Gold Coin Design at the 2021 Coin of the Year Awards. A specialist in natural-science illustration, her work appears in museums and conservation publications across North America. Now, her stunning bison artwork brings life to this .999 fine silver tribute.

Every 2025-dated coin is legal tender ($1), struck in Brilliant Uncirculated condition with razor-sharp details. The incuse lettering and ornate border are pressed below the surface, adding depth to the design and honoring Native American symbolism of abundance and survival.
