James Earle Fraser’s original Buffalo Nickel design, which was utilized on the US five-cent piece from 1913 to 1938, drew inspiration from his personal childhood encounters. Having traversed the Upper Midwest and Plains regions with his father during the late 19th century, Fraser incorporated his firsthand experiences of the frontier into his remarkable design.

The Native American chieftain depicted on the coin represents a combination of three influential tribal leaders from the 20th century, as Fraser masterfully blended their facial features. Additionally, the buffalo featured on the reverse of the coin draws its likeness from the famous Black Diamond, a bison residing in New York City’s Central Park Zoo during the early 20th century.

The obverse of 2016 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo presents the captivating portrait of a Native American leader, accompanied by the engravings “Liberty” and “2016.” On the reverse, you’ll find the striking effigy of a Black Diamond at the center, accompanied by engravings indicating the coin’s weight, purity, metal content, and face value.

These coins showcase the full original luster from the mint and exhibit no detracting flaws whatsoever.
