The Design
The obverse features the famed Native American portrait originally created by James Earle Fraser for the Buffalo Nickel. Fraser drew inspiration from several Native American leaders to create one of the most enduring and recognizable designs in American coinage. The design is accompanied by the inscription "LIBERTY" and the year of issue.
The reverse depicts a powerful American buffalo standing atop a mound. Inspired by Black Diamond, a bison that resided at New York City's Central Park Zoo, the design has become a symbol of American strength and resilience. Surrounding inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "IN GOD WE TRUST," the denomination, and the coin's weight and purity.
