James Earle Fraser’s Buffalo Nickel design is one of the most iconic in U.S. coin history, with its bold representation of indigenous heritage and the American bison. Minted from 1913 to 1938, this coin set a new standard for American coinage. Today, the design lives on through private mints, such as SilverTowne, which offers this imagery on silver and copper bullion items. Today, 1 oz SilverTowne Buffalo Silver Sheets are available at JM Bullion.

The Buffalo Nickel, designed by James Earle Fraser and minted from 1913 to 1938, stands as one of America’s most iconic pieces of numismatic art. The obverse design from Fraser features a composite portrait of three Native American chiefs – Iron Tail (Sioux), Two Moons (Cheyenne), and John Big Tree (Seneca) – creating a dignified profile that Fraser intended to be both authentic and representative of indigenous peoples.
All 1 oz SilverTowne Buffalo Silver Sheets available here come with a total of 20 individual SilverTowne Buffalo Silver Bars. The 20 bars are sealed together in a plastic sheet, with 1 Troy ounce of .999 pure silver per bar for a total of 20 Troy ounces of silver.
The obverse of the SilverTowne Buffalo Silver Bar features a profile of a Native American tribal figure, showcasing Fraser’s classic, stoic portrait. His hair is braided, and feathers are woven at the back, with “Liberty” inscribed above and the bar’s weight and purity marked below.
On the reverse of each 1 oz SilverTowne Buffalo Silver Bar, the majestic American bison is depicted standing proudly in right-profile relief, a nod to Fraser’s original design. This side also bears inscriptions that include the issuing nation and the U.S. motto “In God We Trust.”
