1oz Buffalo Silver Round - SilverTowne Mint

Featuring the Classic Buffalo Nickel Design by James Earle Fraser

Few American coin designs have achieved the cultural resonance of the Buffalo Nickel. First minted in 1913 and produced through 1938, James Earle Fraser’s artwork captured the spirit of the American West with uncommon authenticity. Today, that same design graces the 1 oz SilverTowne Buffalo Silver Round—a modern bullion piece paying homage to a classic.

Product Highlights

• Contains 1 troy oz of .999 fine silver
• Produced in new condition by SilverTowne
• Obverse: Composite portrait of a Native American tribal figure
• Reverse: American bison (Black Diamond) in left-profile relief
• No date of issue; design is faithful to the original Buffalo Nickel

The obverse features Fraser’s interpretation of a Native American in right-profile—an artistic composite based on three individuals from different tribes. The word “Liberty” remains etched in the upper right, as it did on the original nickel.

The reverse showcases an American bison modeled after Black Diamond, a famed resident of the Central Park Zoo during the early 20th century. In place of a denomination, modern inscriptions denote the round’s weight and purity. The classic mottos “United States of America” and “E Pluribus Unum” remain intact, preserving its historical appeal.

This round is a favorite among silver investors for its combination of artistic value, recognizable design, and .999 silver purity. Whether you’re stacking for weight or collecting for legacy, the SilverTowne Buffalo Silver Round is a compelling addition to any portfolio.
