{{/presale}}Before the United States adopted Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam as national symbols, early colonists in America revered the goddess Columbia. The American Reserve brand honors Columbias legacy with their exquisite silver bars. Today, 1 oz Silver American Reserve Columbia Goddess Bars are available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 1 oz Silver American Reserve Columbia Goddess Bar comes in protective plastic packaging. These bars are uniquely American, both in design and material. Asahi Refining USA sources the raw silver from within the United States, refines it to .999+ fine silver grain at their Utah facility and then ships it to Miami, Florida, where it is minted into these fine bars under the American Reserve brand.
Obverse
The obverse of the Silver American Reserve Columbia Goddess Bar features the American Reserve brand logo, showcasing interlaced AR initials on a rocky background. The Asahi mint mark is at the bottom, and crossed pickaxes at the top represent the American mining industry. Inscriptions here read AMERICAN RESERVE, AR, FINE SILVER, 999, and 1 OZ.
Reverse
On the reverse of 1 oz Silver Columbia Goddess Bars, youll find Joel Iskowitzs modern effigy of Columbia. She stands proud, holding the American flag in her left hand and a torch in her right, with her head turned towards the torchs radiant light. The inscriptions read MINED & MADE IN AMERICA and the JI initials of the designer.
History
The name “Columbia” comes from Christopher Columbus’s surname and was used poetically to represent the New World he discovered. The feminization of his name into a goddess figure followed the classical tradition of personifying ideals and countries as female figures, symbolizing Americas new beginnings and spirit of discovery.
