The American bison originated in Asia more than two million years ago and later migrated into North America through the Bering land bridge during the Pleistocene. These large grazers were built for the Plains, developing their signature humped backs, heavy fur, and ability to handle severe weather.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2025 Colorized Antique Cameroon Silver American Bison displays a tapestry-inspired design influenced by Indigenous patterns. The concentric layout and ornate details create a sense of balance and movement.

Reverse

The reverse of the 2025 2 oz Colorized Antique Silver American Bison Coin presents a right-profile image of a bisons head with detailed colorization and beadwork styling. For many Plains tribes, including the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Blackfoot, the bison held deep spiritual importance as a provider of food, shelter, and tools, and a symbol of strength and connection.

History

For Americans, the bison represents endurance and renewal. After facing near extinction in the 19th century, the species rebounded through conservation. In 2016, it was officially recognized as the national mammal of the United States, symbolizing both cultural pride and environmental recovery.
