The SilverTowne pick-ax mint logo is shown at the bottom of the copper round.

History

The designs shown on the obverse and reverse of these Copper Buffalo Rounds were created in 1913 by James Earle Fraser. He was commissioned by the US Mint and Treasury Department in the early 1910s as one of many artists competing to provide new designs to the US Mint for its circulating coinage. Gold coins had already been redesigned in 1907 and 1908, with the US nickel and 90% silver coins redesigned in the 1910s.

Frasers Buffalo Nickel design combined the facial features of three real-world indigenous tribal leaders to create his stoic Native America, while Black Diamond from the Central Park Zoo was the inspiration for the bison design on this side. It featured on the Buffalo Nickel from 1913 to 1938.
