James Earle Fraser's Famous Wild West Designs

A true symbol of America's pioneer spirit, the Buffalo Nickel perfectly embodies the essence of the Old West with designs that feature a lifelike Native American and a powerful buffalo for which the coin is named. Created by famed American sculptor James Earle Fraser, the Buffalo Nickel has always been one of America's most revered coins. The Native American depicted on the coin is a dead ringer for Oglala Lakota Chief Iron Tail–though Fraser claimed it was a composite of three men in order to protect both the Chief's privacy and his own artistic license. The buffalo on the reverse was modeled after Black Diamond, a large American bison then on display at the Bronx Zoo in New York City not far from Fraser's studio. This timeless design is as popular as ever and now graces the U.S Mint's annual $50 one-ounce gold bullion coin!
