1 oz Copper Bar - $10 US Buffalo Banknote

$10 US Buffalo Banknote Copper Bar 1 Ounce translates the famous 1901 “Bison Note” — a United States Note featuring a majestic American bison flanked by portraits of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark — into an investment‑grade copper format. Struck in .999 fine copper and weighing 1 AVDP ounce (28.349 g), the piece carries clear on‑bar legends for swift specification checks. The bison motif is an icon of American currency design; the original vignette drew on a specimen from the National Zoo, and its popularity cemented the symbolism of the American West and the Lewis–Clark expedition. High‑quality striking on copper delivers pronounced relief at an accessible unit price for steady collection building.

The composition preserves large‑size note aesthetics while adapting them to a collectible format suited for capsules, tubes, and display cases. Smooth fields, crisp relief, and a standardized footprint of roughly 46 × 27 mm facilitate storage and systematic accumulation in small, repeatable units of industrial metal. Readable inscriptions for metal/fineness/weight support unambiguous identification and secondary‑market handling, while the bison and Lewis–Clark iconography reinforces ties to U.S. paper‑money history and numismatic heritage.

Obverse presents the side‑profile bison centered beneath UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the TEN DOLLARS ribbon, with Meriwether Lewis at left and William Clark at right; large corner “10” numerals and a rich guilloché frame echo the original “Bison Note.”

Reverse features the allegorical figure Columbia in a classical, monumental scene with arcaded architecture; UNITED STATES NOTE appears below, alongside vegetal ornament and cartouches referencing the historic 1901 reverse layout.
