Description
The 1 oz Buffalo Silver Round from the SilverTowne Mint has been struck in 1 Troy ounce of .999 pure silver. Each of these rounds display the popular design featured on the Buffalo Nickel. These rounds are in brand new condition, shipping from GoldClub Direct.
The Native American image featured on the 1 oz Buffalo Silver Round was originally designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser in 1913, and was first featured on the Indian Head Nickel. The image features a portrait of a Native American chieftain. In addition to the image, the word “Liberty” appears to the right of the round.
The opposite image features the left-facing profile of an American Bison as it grazes on a small patch of land. The buffalo used to model the image reportedly came from an animal named Black Diamond who lived at the Central Park Zoo in New York City around the same time James Earle Fraser created the Indian Head Nickel. The phrase “One Troy Ounce” is stamped above the bison, while the purity and metal are stamped below.
