US Mint Legend of the Buffalo Nickel Collection #2 | Iconic American Coinage by James Earl Fraser

Legend of the Buffalo Nickel Collection #2 | Iconic American Coinage by James Earl Fraser

Discover one of the most distinctively American coin designs with our Legend of the Buffalo Nickel Collection #2. Designed by famed American artist James Earl Fraser and minted from 1913 to 1938, the Buffalo Nickel stands as a true icon of U.S. numismatic art. Fraser masterfully crafted the coin’s obverse by drawing on the features of three Native Americans—John Big Tree (Iroquois), Two Moons (Cheyenne), and Iron Tail (Teton Sioux)—to create a composite Indian profile that exudes strength and heritage. On the reverse, inspiration came close to home at New York’s Central Park Zoo, where the gentle bull bison, Black Diamond, served as the model for one of America’s most beloved coins.
