Below the image of the buffalo is ‘ONE TROY OUNCE’ and at the top of the round is ‘.999 SILVER’.īuying silver is a great way to diversify your portfolio and hedge against inflation. This difference in ideals is what led to many battles between the early settlers and Native Americans. The buffalo is a symbol of the old west as it was an important part of the Native Americans’ source of food and clothing but was seen as an impedance to the western expansion. The majesty of the beast is detailed from its massive size and horns that suggest danger to its beautiful curly hair around its head.

In the image, we can see the animal with its head lowered. This buffalo was inspired by a famous buffalo at the Bronx Zoo, “Black Diamond”. The reverse side has an image of an American bison which is commonly referred to as a buffalo. The resulting image is a combination of all three men. This is James Earl Fraser’s design which he created after having three different Native Americans sit as models.

The Golden State mint captures all the detail of this design from the feathers in his hair and the ties where the braid begins to the lines in his face where we see his lips pulled straight in look of determination. On the obverse side of the coin is a stoic Native American looking to the right.
