The obverse features James Earle Fraser’s distinguished Native American profile, a composite inspired by three Indigenous leaders. The detailed portrait highlights America’s cultural pride and heritage, paired with the inscription Liberty and the year of issue. Ever since its initial release on the Buffalo nickel in 1913, Fraser’s artwork has been considered one of the finest examples of engraving on American coinage.

This design celebrates a bygone era of American history, the rough and wild West that was once dominated by the roaming buffalo.
