There is also an inscription of COPY on this side that indicates the coins are tribute coins and not legal tender.

History

The Indian Head Nickel, otherwise known as the Buffalo Nickel, was designed by James Earle Fraser and produced by the US Mint for circulation from 1913 to 1938. In 2006, the US Mint revived the images for the obverse and reverse fields of the American Buffalo Gold bullion coin, a specimen it offers annually in Brilliant Uncirculated and Proof versions.
