The BU 2018 American ZomBuff is now free to graze upon the living. Hollow-eyed and infected, he is Provident Mint’s third release in the official Currency of the Apocalypse™ bullion series.
The mighty Black Diamond was born in 1893, weighed three-quarters of a ton and could be seen wowing crowds as an attraction at the Central Park Zoo in the early 1900s. But that was then…
Now, the undead bison roams the land, his withered carcass decomposing.
This depiction can be seen on the obverse of each 2018 American ZomBuff silver and copper round, the newest release in the Zombucks: Currency of the Apocalypse™ series from Provident Metals. Inscriptions encompassing the image read THE AMERICAN ZOMBUFF and 2018. The value for the silver round is Z FIFTY and the copper is Z TWO.
This design pays tribute to the Indian Head Nickel (1913-1938) and the sketch by James Earle Fraser, who is believed to have used Black Diamond as his model. The spelling out of the denomination is based off the Indian Head Nickel as well.
A biohazard symbol is prominent on the reverse to serve as a reminder of the hazard zombies represent to human life. The warning is surrounded by inscriptions of CURRENCY OF THE APOCALYPSE, ZOMBUCKS and the silver or copper’s weight and fineness.
The highly-anticipated American ZomBuff follows the release of the BU Walker, which is no longer being produced or sold, and BU Morgue Anne, production and sales ending 12/31/13. This round will be the first of four designs scheduled for release in 2014. A total of 10 designs will be offered before the series concludes in the fourth quarter of 2015.
With the epidemic now spreading to animals, only time will tell what the infection is capable of. Herds of buffalo have joined the hordes of human zombies now tracking the survivors.
There is no time for fear. Those days have passed. The only survival plan for the living is to properly prepare for the zombie apocalypse, which means stocking up on silver and copper Zombucks as a means to purchase goods and services.
Humans may not last, but the value of each 2018 American ZomBuff, will.
