A Timeless American Legacy: The Buffalo Design
The 1 oz Silver Buffalo Round carries a design that is deeply etched in American numismatic history, originating from James Earle Fraser's artistic vision for the 1913 Buffalo Nickel. Fraser, a student of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, sought to create a coin that was unmistakably American, moving away from classical motifs to embrace symbols rooted in the nation's unique heritage.
The obverse's portrayal of a Native American chief is a composite, intended to represent the dignity and strength of the continent's indigenous peoples. Fraser's intent was to create a type that embodied the spirit of Native Americans, with figures like Iron Tail, Two Moons, and John Big Tree often cited as inspirations.
On the reverse, the powerful American Bison stands as a symbol of the nation's vast wilderness. The model for this bison is widely believed to have been "Black Diamond," a notable American bison housed at the Central Park Zoo during the period Fraser was developing the design.
Smart Investing with Silver Buffalo Rounds
Cost-Effective Silver Investment
