Obverse

The obverse design of the Silver Buffalo Rounds features a stoic Native American figure, depicted in right-profile relief. The image was created by Fraser, who drew inspiration from real-life tribal elders of the 20th century, combining their facial features to create this iconic design. The Native American figure is depicted with braided hair and feathers at the back of his head, adding to the round’s overall visual appeal.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 1/4 oz Silver Buffalo Rounds, you will find a powerful image of a buffalo, with its head facing towards the left. Fraser expertly crafted the buffalo’s fur, resulting in exquisite detail that highlights the animal’s muscular neck and shoulders. This round is a beautiful tribute to both the Native American culture and the majestic buffalo, making it a unique addition to any collection.

History

James Earle Fraser was responsible for creating the iconic images that graced the US Nickel, also known as the Buffalo Nickel or Indian Head Nickel. The artwork was developed by Fraser and approved by President William Howard Taft’s administration in 1913, replacing the Liberty Nickel design from the 19th century.
