Honouring one of the giants of the Pleistocene Epoch – known as the Ice Age, beginning around 2.6 million years ago – we are delighted to present the Mammoth 2025 $1 Silver Proof Coin!
Struck to the pinnacle of Proof quality from pure 99.9% silver, and enhanced with colour, the coin honours the Columbian Mammoth (Mammuthus colombi ). An enormous herbivore, the Columbian Mammoth was one of the largest species of mammoths. Much bigger than its Woolly Mammoth counterpart, the Columbian Mammoth had a shoulder height of around 4 metres and could weigh as much 12 tons! In addition, they had tusks more than two metres in length!
Capturing the massive dimensions of this huge creature with the power of modern minting, the Mammoth 2025 $1 Silver Proof Coin is notable for a sharply detailed strike and expert use of full-colour. Spanning a crown-sized 38.60mm in diameter, the
expansive flan forms a fine canvas for the accurate portrayal of this Ice Age giant. The perfect finishing touch, the border depicts a range of fossils!
The Columbian Mammoth ranged across the United States and into Mexico during the last Ice Age, with its territory to the south of the woolly mammoth. The Columbian Mammoth was larger than its woolly cousin, standing 13 feet high, with tusks more up to 16 feet long, with about ten feet span between them!
Fossil evidence indicates that Paleoindians hunted Columbian Mammoths. Indeed, overhunting is believed to be one of the causes for its extinction, along with climate change. This monstrous beast shared its long disappeared Pleistocene habitat with other now-extinct mammals that included sabertooth tigers like Smilodon, giant ground sloths, dire wolves, the camel Camelops, mastodons, ice age horses, and bison antiquus. It did not live in Arctic Canada or Alaska, which was inhabited by woolly mammoths. Fossils of woolly and Columbian mammoths have been found in the same place in a few areas of North America where their ranges overlapped, as have hybrids of the two.
