Obverse

The obverse design of the 1 oz Buffalo Silver Round presents a striking portrayal of an indigenous person in a right-profile pose. The talented designer, James Earle Fraser, skillfully integrated the distinct facial features of three influential indigenous leaders from the early 1900s, thereby crafting a captivating and meaningful portrait that resonates with historical significance.

Reverse

The reverse side of the 1 oz Regency Mint Buffalo Silver Rounds captivates with its depiction of the mighty American bison. Fraser’s dedication to authenticity led him to seek a living muse, ultimately finding inspiration in the majestic presence of Black Diamond, a remarkable bison residing within the Central Park Zoo. Through careful observation and artistic mastery, Fraser transformed this real-life specimen into a timeless buffalo design that graces the original coin.

History

James Earle Frasers original design for the Buffalo Nickel was approved in 1913 by the administration of President William Howard Taft. In 2006, the US Mint revived the images for the American Gold Buffalo bullion coin.
