One of the most beloved coin designs from American history didn’t originate on a proof coin, but instead, on the humble five-cent circulation coin. James Earle Fraser’s 1913 design for the US nickel became known as the Buffalo Nickel, and has been replicated on countless products since.

James Earle Fraser was commissioned by the Taft Administration in 1912 to redesign the nation’s five-cent piece, replacing the previous design which had been in use since the mid-1890s. Fraser, who grew up on the plains, used his background for inspiration in designing the new nickel.

Fraser chose a bison for the obverse face of the coin, and a Native American chieftain for the reverse of the original nickel. His new design was used from 1913 to 1938. Today, it appears on the Gold American Buffalo coin from the US Mint, among other private mint offerings as well.

On the obverse of these 2017 1 oz SilverTowne Silver Buffalo Rounds you’ll find the image of a Native American tribal member. Captured in right-profile relief, Fraser is said to have used the facial features of three different leaders of the early 20^th century to create the image used on the Buffalo Nickel.

The reverse of the SilverTowne Silver Buffalo Round includes a depiction of Black Diamond. The bison that inspired Fraser’s design was a resident of the Central Park Zoo in New York City in the early 20^th century, and is featured on the reverse of these rounds with all original engravings aside from the face value.
