The apocalypse has run rampant for nearly three years. Iconic figures have turned to zombies; beautiful animals grew infectious. The contagion knew no bounds, grasping ahold of any living organism and taking the world down in the process.
As the upheaval expanded, survival depended on two things: fighting skills and Zombucks: Currency of the Apocalypse®, as Zombucks were the only accepted form of currency. While the long-term prospects of survival were bleak, the purchasing power of Zombucks gave people the best odds of living through the horror as they waited for the apocalypse to end – or for a savior to arrive…
Introducing Zombucks The Saint, a heroine portraying liberty and victory, arrives just in time to quell the zombie apocalypse before it advances to uncontrollable levels. Beautiful, yet powerful, The Saint is reminiscent of the Augustus Saint Gaudens’ design that originally appeared on the Double Eagle Gold Coin.
On the Gold Eagle, Liberty walked gracefully toward the viewer with rays of sunlight shining before her. Clutching a torch and an olive branch, Liberty symbolized hope of better days in the future. The Saint represents much of the same, yet Liberty’s journey to freedom was much different than before.
As the times have clearly changed, The Saint now carries a sword in her right hand she used to sever the head of a zombie she carries in her left. She steps forward over bones of the undead while her hair billows in the wind; she wears a gown and a corset with a biohazard symbol emblazoned as its center. As smoke pours out of the Capitol building in the background, Liberty stares intently ahead with sun rays peeking out in the distan
ce.
The intricate design epitomizes what gruesome times have existed. Things may slowly return to the normal we once knew before the apocalypse began, but for those that invested in Zombucks silver and copper rounds from the beginning, you’re better prepared for the future than those around you.
The Saint is the final release in the 10-design Zombucks series that featured zombified historical coinage figures on BU and Proof rounds. While you may have invested in Zombucks to survive the apocalypse, the collection can now be used to strengthen your silver holdings and serve as a reminder of the tragic, zombie-filled times.
As with each design in the Zombucks series, the reverse features a biohazard symbol and inscriptions of the round’s weight and metal purity. The Saint will circulate for three months before she leaves you to navigate the world on your own.
And remember, The Dying Eagle is available for today only before it’s discontinued. Be sure to order the penultimate Zombucks release before it’s contained forever.

are you re-minting the Zombucks coins later, or was that it?
Hi Chris, we will not be re-minting this series. Part of the appeal was its limited run.
when does the proof saint come out
