Osborne Mint Hosts Striking Ceremony for 2025 ANA Show Eagle Coin
The event gathered an impressive roster of industry leaders and honored guests, including acclaimed designer Joel Iskowitz, American Numismatic Association President Tom Uram, Osborne Mint executives, and other dignitaries. Attendees were welcomed with light snacks and refreshments before embarking on a guided tour of Osborne Mint, offering an inside look at America's oldest private mint and its historic production process.
Iskowitz, the artist behind both the 2024 and 2025 ANA Show Eagle coins, brought even more significance to the event. Widely regarded as one of the most celebrated names in coin design, he is known for blending historical depth with artistic excellence. After training at the School of Visual Arts and working at the Franklin Mint, he joined the U.S. Mint's Artistic Infusion Program in 2005. His work has since appeared on over 50 coins and medals, including the America the Beautiful Quarters and Presidential Dollars. Iskowitz also designed several Congressional Gold Medals and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II for British Commonwealth coinage. His initials appear on the coin.
The day's highlight was the striking ceremony led by industry expert Chang Bullock, founder and President of Minted Assets. Guests in attendance witnessed 12 one-ounce silver coins being struck live on Osborne Mint's brand-new Sack and Kielsselbach MPP-250 hydraulic press. World-renowned mints across the globe rely on the Sack and Kiesselbach MPP-250 hydraulic press for its unmatched precision and consistency in producing high-quality numismatic coins. Osborne Mint proudly welcomed this state-of-the-art piece of equipment to enhance their existing capabilities in crafting silver and gold numismatics and collectibles with exceptional detail and artistry.
The 2025 ANA Show Eagle honors Oklahoma City, host of this year's World's Fair of Money, featuring James Earle Fraser's iconic End of the Trail statue. A powerful symbol of Native American endurance and cultural heritage, the piece shares a historical connection with Fraser's beloved Buffalo Nickel, both of which are modeled after Chief John Big Tree.
The coin's reverse pairs the End of the Trail with a soaring eagle, connecting it to the ANA Show Eagle series and celebrating the resilience of Native American culture. Fraser's profile is included alongside the design, grounding the piece in its artistic roots.
The obverse features Nomisma, the classical Greek personification of money, holding the Oklahoma State quarter, which serves as this year's official ANA show logo. In a unique tribute to the quarter's designer, Susan Gamble's name replaces the date on this coin. The phrase E Pluribus Unum crowns the design, honoring both the nation's motto and the passion that unites collectors at the World's Fair of Money each year.
The Ascension Island backed coins are minted in both gold and silver. The gold coin, with a denomination of $100, is crafted from 1 oz of 99.99% pure gold and is limited to just 100 pieces. The silver coin, with a $5 denomination, is struck from 1 oz of 99.9% pure silver and limited to 500 pieces.
Following last year's debut coin featuring Chicago's Cloud Gate sculpture, demand for the 2025 ANA Show Eagle is already high. Collectors and history enthusiasts will find it a meaningful tribute to Oklahoma's cultural legacy and the enduring art of coinage.

Danielle Vasinova On Her Roots As a Cowgirl and the Yellowstone Universe
Wide-open plains, majestic stallions, weathered leather boots, and soft suede hats—these timeless symbols capture the essence of a cowgirl spirit. For acclaimed actress and fashion designer Danielle Vasinova, that spirit has always been a part of her. Born and raised in rural America, the Native American and Czech actress has been allured by the classic Western lifestyle since childhood. With recurring roles in Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone universe and a highly anticipated vintage Western Americana-inspired fashion line set for release later this year, it's easy to see that her upbringing still impacts her career today. 'Born This Way' Vasinova's father bought her her first pony when she was just three. Since then, her bond with the West and horses has developed into something that transcends a typical human-animal relationship. Vasinova is empathetically connected to these animals and views riding them not only as a privilege but also as an expression of her culture and an extension of herself. With her roles in multiple Taylor Sheridan shows, it's almost like her childhood experiences were setting her up for her current success. 'This was such a full circle moment for me,' Vasinova said. 'I've been a cowgirl since the day I was born; practically came out of the womb on a saddle. Now I'm back home in the Western world.' Vasinova's Role in The Yellowstone Universe Danielle Vasinova's prominence as a cowgirl has reached new heights in recent years. Previously, she appeared in Sheridan's 1923 as the fierce, independent Ata Waipa, adding complexity to the already riveting Yellowstone universe. She's also set to appear in Sheridan's new series The Madison as the Indigenous character Kestrel Harris, whose storyline is greatly anticipated. 'I got an audition for 1923, so I put that on tape, and then a week or two later, I got another audition for The Madison,' Vasinova said. 'I was like, 'Is this even possible?' Two roles, back to back in the Taylor Sheridan universe.' It was a dream come true. Although much is still unknown about Kestrel Harris's backstory in The Madison, set to premiere in late 2025 or early 2026, Vasinova assures viewers the character will capture their attention with a compelling storyline. 'To me, she [Harris] represents Mother Earth. There are a lot of different facets to her. She's grounded, caring, loving, wild, and free,' Vasinova said. 'A Modern-Day Superhero' As a present-day cowgirl, Danielle Vasinova believes that women are a force of nature: fierce, intelligent, decisive, and superheroes in their own right—and Vasinova always strives to bring that vision to the screen. 'Getting the opportunity to portray a superhero has always been one of my goals,' Vasinova has said. 'I come from a Comic-Con background, and those fans are the best, the absolute most die-hard loyal fans in the world!' If all her recent successes are a sign of things to come, that role might just be on the horizon. About Danielle Vasinova Daniel Vasinova is an Emmy Award-nominated actress known for her work in Taylor Sheridan's 1923, as well as several action-adventure films, TV series roles, and as Belle in Belle's War. She will star in the Yellowstone spinoff The Maidson, which is set to premiere later this year. She has been featured in several publications like Cowgirl Magazine, Town and Country Magazine, Variety, Life & Style Magazine, and more.
