The obverse features a right-facing portrait of a Native American chief, designed by renowned sculptor James Earle Fraser for the original Buffalo Nickel first released in 1913. Fraser reportedly used three different Native American models for his composite portrait, including Chief Iron Tail (Oglala Lakota) and Chief Two Moons (Northern Cheyenne).
The obverse includes the word "LIBERTY" on the right side, with the year of mintage "2025" below the Native American's neck, and Fraser's initial "F" tucked beneath the date.
The reverse features Fraser's iconic American bison standing on a mound of earth. This design was reportedly based on "Black Diamond," a bison that lived in New York's Central Park Zoo in the early 1900s. The majestic animal is depicted in extraordinary detail.
Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" at the top, with "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "IN GOD WE TRUST" above the bison. Below are "50 DOLLARS" and "1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD."
