US Mint: Legend of the Buffalo Nickel Collection | Iconic American Coinage by James Earl Fraser
Discover the story behind one of America’s most distinctively designed coins with our Legend of the Buffalo Nickel Collection. Designed by renowned American artist James Earl Fraser and minted from 1913 to 1938, the Buffalo Nickel remains a beloved symbol of U.S. heritage. Fraser masterfully crafted the Indian profile on the obverse using the faces of three Native Americans—John Big Tree (Iroquois), Two Moons (Cheyenne), and Iron Tail (Teton Sioux). For the reverse, inspiration struck close to home at the Central Park Zoo in New York, where the gentle bull bison, Black Diamond, became the model for this enduring design.
