Design Details
The Buffalo design originates from the legendary Indian Head Nickel created by sculptor James Earle Fraser in 1913. Fraser combined elements from Native American tribal leaders he encountered during his youth to create the powerful portrait featured in the design.
The buffalo depicted on the reverse is believed to have been modeled after Black Diamond, a famous American bison that lived at the Central Park Zoo in New York City. This combination of Native American imagery and the American bison has made the Buffalo design one of the most enduring and recognizable motifs in American numismatics.
Obverse
The obverse typically features a Native American profile portrait, inspired by Fraser’s original design for the Buffalo Nickel. The detailed engraving highlights traditional hair braids and facial features that reflect the heritage and symbolism of the American frontier.
Reverse
The reverse displays the iconic American Buffalo standing in profile, modeled after the famous bison Black Diamond. The design reinforces the historic theme while emphasizing the bar’s classic American bullion aesthetic.
