The history buff will be interested in knowing a bit more about the inspiration for the iconic Indian Head nickel. Just as with Frazer’s original sculpture, the Buffalo Silver Ounce Round reflects the majesty of the proud Indian head on the obverse side with the word, Liberty emblazoned across the top. Historians believe that the Indian head was inspired by a combination of American Indian Chiefs: Big Tree of the Kiowa, Iron Tail of the Lakota Sioux, and Two Moons of the Cheyenne tribe. The American buffalo, proud symbol of the western frontier, is grandly displayed on the reverse side of the Silver Round just as Frazer had originally depicted him. Because of the historical nature of Frazer’s original design, the Buffalo Head Nickel has been and remains one of the most collectible coins ever minted by the United States, and therefore, the Buffalo Silver Round is an outstanding investment in its silver value as well as its historical significance.
