This Indian Head round commemorates James Earle Fraser's buffalo nickel. Please photos regarding the condition of the coin.
Details about the original coin:
James Earle Fraser was tasked by the administration of President William H. Taft to redesign the American five-cent piece. His design became known as the Indian Head or Buffalo Nickel because he invoked images familiar to him growing up on the plains of the Midwest in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
His Indian Head depiction, featured on the obverse of the original nickel, was the result of combining facial features and characteristics of Iron Tail, Two Moons, and Big Tree, leaders of three important Native American tribes at the turn of the 20thcentury.
