2017 Zombucks Walker, FIRST EDITION • Zombie Walking Liberty • 1 oz Pure Copper Round Proof in Capsule (.999 Fine)

First Edition of the Zombucks Series introduced in 2017.

What’s the most powerful way to honor what is considered by many to be the most beautiful American coin ever produced?

Zombify it.

The Walking Liberty first appeared on the Walking Liberty Halves (1916-1947) and again on the American Silver Eagle (1986-2013) because it showcased the grandiose Walking Liberty that was beloved by Americans due to its portrayal of patriotism and freedom. But survival has taken the place of patriotism and independence during the age of zombies.

The 2017 Zombucks® Walker coin is composed of 1 AVDP oz of .999 copper and is known as the “Currency of the Apocalypse” with a denomination of Z2.

Adolf Weinman’s design of the Walking Liberty was selected by the U.S. Mint during an open competition in 1916 to add excitement to the coins that had become “boring” to those in control. With a striding Lady Liberty and stars and stripes whipping in the wind alongside her, the depiction grabbed the essence and spirit of liberty that was so important during that era. She walked toward a brighter day with the sun on the horizon carrying laurel and oak branches.

The zombified Lady Liberty on the Zombucks® Walker shuffles toward humans, wearing torn clothes and carrying disheveled stars and stripes. Zombie Liberty carries an ax while a mushroom cloud appears from an explosion in the background of this obverse. The inscriptions read “WALKER,” “2017” and “Z2.”

A biohazard symbol is the focus of the reverse as warning of the extreme hazards during an apocalypse. It is inscribed with “ZOMBUCKS,” CURRENCY OF THE APOCALYPSE,” “1 oz .999 FINE COPPER” and a Provident Metals compass logo.
