The Buffalo Indian image was designed by James Earle Fraser during an afternoon in New York’s Central Park. He used his childhood memories traveling with his father in the northwest. Along their travels, they interacted with Native Indians, often witnessing the American bison throughout the great plains.
The image first appeared on the 1913 Buffalo nickel. The iconic image is one of the most recognized coindesigns. Of the countless mints that have replicated the famous image, the Sunshine Mint is among the finest.
The Buffalo Indian is one of the most sought after silver bullion rounds both among collectors and investors alike. Struck in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver with a mirror finish, each round arrives in a new Direct Fit capsule.
