James Earle Fraser’s Buffalo Nickel design is one of the most iconic in the history of American coinage. Designed in 1913 and featured on the nation’s five-cent piece until 1938, it has become known as one of the greatest in American history and currently features on the American Gold Buffalo, a 24-karat gold coin from the US Mint.

Luigi Badia and Paolo “Mr. The” Curcio team up again for the release of a stunning first new design in the United Snakes of America collection of silver and copper rounds. Mr. The created the famous Indian Skull designs used on the 2016 Hobo Nickel Silver Rounds collection, with engravings from Badia.
For this new collection, Mr. The’s Indian Skull design returns as the first design in the collection. Badia transferred each of the designs to plaster for use in the striking of these brilliant silver rounds. Each design release in the United Snakes of America collection is available in 1 oz antique and 1 oz copper bullion in addition to this 5 oz antique silver.
On the obverse of the 5 oz Antique Indian Skull Silver Round is the image of Mr. The’s Indian Skull. The haunting image of Fraser’s Native American chieftain, reimagined by Mr. The as a skeletal figure, reminds the world of the corruption and lies governments sometimes tell. Among them, telling Native American tribes that “as long as the bird flies and the river flows, this will always be your land.”
The reverse of the 5 oz Antique Indian Skull Silver Round includes the heraldic snakes of the United States. A twist on the heraldic eagle of the United States from John Mercanti, and featured on the American Silver Eagle, this design includes a grouping of snakes behind the heraldic shield of the US with the engravings “United Snakes of America” and the 13 stars arranged in a triangle.
All United Snakes of America silver and copper rounds are produced by Osborne Precious Metals, and available in extremely limited mintages. The rounds arrive in air-tight plastic and include individually numbered Certificates of Authenticity.
