This pure silver 5 ounce bar carries the famous and historical Buffalo design, that has been seen an earlier forms of currency. The first Indian head Buffalo design was for the penny in 1859-1909 by James Barton Longacre. The Buffalo nickel came soon after from 1913-1938.
 
Featuring a Native American's head facing the other direction, with his hair in several ponytails and adorned with feathers, this design was quite different from the original penny design. Instead of an emotionless design, we got an older man whose wrinkles and exhausted features represent the years of torment his people has experienced.
 
This design represented more than just currency, it was history untold for hundreds of years. The silver products, that carry the Buffalo design, are among the more popular items that are sold. Silver bars are always at their economical best when bought in bulk since quantity discounts are awarded.
