1 oz Asahi Buffalo Silver Monster Box (500 Rounds, New)
The Buffalo Nickel is one of the most cherished historic coins from the United States Mint. Introduced in 1913 during President William Howard Taft’s administration, this coin was designed by James Earle Fraser. The Buffalo Nickel was the last design on the nickel before the current Thomas Jefferson design was introduced. The Buffalo Nickel’s design has inspired many modern bullion pieces, including the new silver rounds from Asahi Refining. Right now, 1 oz Asahi Buffalo Silver Rounds in Monster Boxes of 500 rounds are available for purchase online from DAVE&CO .

Bison played a crucial role in shaping the ecology of North American prairies. Their grazing patterns and wallowing behavior (rolling in dirt to create depressions) helped maintain biodiversity by creating varied habitats for other species. These wallows would collect rainwater, forming temporary pools that supported amphibians and other water-dependent organisms in an otherwise dry landscape.
All 1 oz Asahi Buffalo Silver Rounds in this listing comes with proof visuals in new condition from the mint. These proof silver rounds feature frosted designs overlaying mirrored fields for a beautiful contrast. In this Dave and Co listing, you will receive a total of 500 Troy ounces of .999 pure silver. The Buffalo Silver Rounds available here are packaged in a Monster Box that contains a total of 25 plastic tubes, each with 20 rounds inside.
On the obverse side of the Asahi Buffalo Silver Round, you will find the bust of an indigenous figure. This figure has a stoic expression, braided hair with feathers, and the inscription “Liberty,” reflecting elements of the original Buffalo Nickel. The Asahi Mint mark is also present.
The reverse side of the 1 oz Asahi Buffalo Silver Round features the American bison, the largest land mammal in North America. The bison is depicted in left-profile relief, standing on a mound of dirt with a noticeable hump and shaggy mane. Fraser used Black Diamond, a bison from the Central Park Zoo, as a model for this design. 1 oz Asahi Buffalo Silver Monster Box (500 Rounds, New)
