One of the most iconic coin designs in American history was the centerpiece of the US nickel from 1913 to 1938. During the Golden Age of American coinage, the Buffalo Nickel featured a Native American figure on one side and an American bison, or buffalo, on the other. This timeless design by James Earle Fraser has been a symbol of American heritage, and now you can own a piece of history with 5 oz SilverTowne Buffalo Silver Rounds, available online from BGASC.

Highlights:

• Each round comes securely encased in protective plastic!
• Replicates the famous Buffalo Nickel design!
• Contains 5 Troy ounces of .999 pure silver.
• The obverse features the iconic Native American figure.
• The reverse showcases the majestic American bison.

These 5 oz SilverTowne Buffalo Silver Rounds are carefully protected by plastic casing to preserve their quality. Unlike the original Buffalo Nickel, these rounds contain 5 Troy ounces of .999 pure silver and do not bear any date markings. Fraser’s nickel design, along with works by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Adolph A. Weinman, is celebrated for its distinctly American representation.

Obverse

On the obverse side of the 5 oz SilverTowne Buffalo Silver Round, you’ll find a right-profile image of a Native American figure. This portrayal is a composite inspired by the features of various individuals from the early 20th century. The word “Liberty” is the only engraving on this side, emphasizing the value of freedom.

Reverse

The reverse of these Buffalo Silver Rounds from SilverTowne features a left-profile view of a magnificent buffalo. This design was inspired by Black Diamond, a buffalo housed in New York’s Central Park Zoo during the early 20th century. The buffalo stands proudly on a dirt mound, with engravings that include “United States of America,” “E Pluribus Unum,” and “5 Troy oz .999 Fine Silver.”

History

James Earle Fraser, a native of Winona, Minnesota, drew inspiration for this design from his upbringing on the American Plains of the Midwest and Upper Midwest. His artistry was heavily influenced by his father’s work as a railroad engineer during the westward expansion of the United States.
