The appeal of design
Obverse
The obverse features a detailed depiction of a Native American in profile, a design based on the Buffalo Nickel by James Earle Fraser, issued between 1913 and 1938.
Fraser blended the features of several real-life Native American figures to create his iconic portraits: strong, proud, and historically charged profiles that pay homage to the American West and Native American culture.
The inscription of the word "LIBERTY" also carries on the spirit of the original design.
⸻
Back (reverse)
The reverse side features a majestically standing American bison (commonly known as a buffalo), modeled after a real bison called "Black Diamond."
Fraser observed and sketched this bison, which was kept at New York's Central Park Zoo, and completed the historical design.
Its powerful appearance standing on the ground is a symbol of America's great outdoors and pioneering spirit, and it is an extremely popular motif among silver investors.
The bottom is engraved with:
• 1/2 TROY OZ
• .999 SILVER
This gives a clear indication of weight and purity.

Historical background of the buffalo design

• American Gold Buffalo Coin
• Numerous private silver rounds
• Commemorative medals
It has been passed down through generations and is loved by investors and collectors around the world.
