Description: The 1930s Buffalo Nickel, also known as the Indian Head Nickel, is a popular coin that was minted by the United States from 1913 to 1938. Designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser, the coin features distinct and iconic imagery from Native American culture and American wildlife.Obverse (Front): The obverse of the Buffalo Nickel displays a striking profile of a Native American chief. This design is a composite of three different Native American chiefs who served as inspiration for the coin. The chief is shown in great detail, with a feathered headdress, high cheekbones, and expressive features. The word "LIBERTY" appears to the right of the portrait along the edge of the coin, with the year of minting, 1930, located just below the neck of the Native American profile.Reverse (Back): The reverse features an impressive image of an American bison, commonly referred to as a buffalo, standing on a raised mound of land. The animal is depicted in full detail, with muscular features and a thick mane, symbolizing the rugged spirit of the American frontier. The words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" are inscribed above the bison, with "E PLURIBUS UNUM" below that. At the bottom of the reverse is the denomination, shown as "FIVE CENTS."Composition: The coin is composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel, giving it a slightly silver tone. It measures 21.2 mm in diameter and weighs 5 grams.Notable Features: The Buffalo Nickel has a rough, textured surface due to the intricate detail of its design, which often results in wear and tear over time. This can make well-preserved examples particularly valuable to collectors, especially those from the 1930s in good condition.
