STARVING LIBERTY ZOMBUCKS

On May 4, 2015 Jeff Starck of Coin World published a short article about "Zombucks" Not to be confused with "Cowbucks" (whatever they are), "Zombucks" are a fun knockoff of the Standing Liberty Quarter design. -Editor

Zombucks obverse Zombucks reverse

Zombucks are a popular silver and copper bullion series from Provident Metals.

Coin World explores all of the designs issued so far in the series.

Starving Liberty is the seventh of 10 designs in the Zombucks series.

Instead of the Standing Liberty quarter dollar design created by Hermon MacNeil, a disheveled, skeletal Lady Liberty stands atop a stone staircase clutching a shield. She wears partially torn armor, showing the toll the apocalypse has taken on her body. STARVING is inscribed above, Z2 beside, and 2019 below her emaciated form.
