500 oz PRCA Tiedown Roping Silver Round

Unique single-issue round

The 500 oz PRCA Tiedown Roping Silver Round celebrates the grit, glory, and Western-style heritage of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) – the largest and oldest rodeo-sanctioning body in the world. The PRCA governs the elite level of professional rodeo competition.

Crafted from .9999 fine silver, the obverse features the iconic Pro Rodeo logo with the silhouette of a rodeo cowboy in finely detailed engraving. The reverse features the tiedown roping event. Tie-down roping is a timed rodeo event where a rider on horseback ropes a calf, dismounts, runs to the calf, and ties three of its legs together using a short rope called a piggin’ string. The calf must stay tied for 6 seconds after the rider remounts and slack is given. The event requires speed, precision, and strong horsemanship. It’s a modern version of traditional ranch work used for branding or medical treatment.

A 500 oz silver round is an exceptionally rare and impressive piece, far larger than standard bullion sizes and instantly commanding attention. Its massive scale makes it a true conversation piece—an extraordinary addition for collectors who appreciate distinctive and uncommon formats.

Whether you're a lifelong rodeo fan, a Western collector, or a proud member of cowboy country, this round is a timeless tribute to the heritage of PRCA.
