2016 SilverTowne Buffalo 1 Oz. Fine Silver Round

Please see photos regarding the condition of the coin. 

In the early 20th century the federal government and US Mint sought to overhaul the 19th century designs on all American coins. James Earle Fraser was one of several American artists chosen to help the government in its pursuit of modern designs.

Fraser, a native of Winona, Minnesota, grew up on the prairies of the American Midwest. His design for the nation’s five-cent piece included a depiction of a buffalo, inspired by Black Diamond. The bison was a resident of New York City’s Central Park Zoo at the time. His right-profile image of a Native American chieftain was inspired by a combination of facial features from chieftains alive at the time.
