Silver Ounce (2023) Scottsdale Cowboy, Coin from United States - detailed information

In the United States, a significant number of private mints produce bullion which is not legal tender and is targeted at investors and not at coin collectors - such as this one.

This one-ounce pure silver bullion round was issued by the Scottsdale Mint in 2023.

The mint says about it:
Born in the West, a new silver round that embodies the ethos of the American Spirit of hard work, freedom, and liberty comes to life.

Featured prominently in the foreground of the obverse of this round is the American cowboy riding a bucking bronco with the setting sun lighting up the background. This cowboy pays homage to both the current (Scottsdale, Arizona) and future (Wyoming) manufacturing locations of the Scottsdale Mint. 

To the lower right of the cowboy sits a Buffalo privy mark as an added security feature. While the Buffalo is closely associated with US Mint coinage and bullion collectibles, it holds a special place of prominence on the flag of Wyoming, the Cowboy State.

Adding to the overall beauty of this 1 troy ounce silver round is the .9999 fine purity which makes it one of the few rounds in circulation in the market today to be so pure.

On the reverse of the round amidst a beautiful design of radiating lines refracting the light sits the Scottsdale Lion with the popular cowboy saying “Ride for the Brand” directly below.
