Striking Native American Man Design by James Earle Fraser
Obverse: Both faces of this coin take their designs from James Earle Fraser’s Buffalo Nickel. On the obverse is a composite portrait of a Native American man who has feathers tied up at the back of his head. The date, “2024,” and the artist’s last initial, “F,” are inscribed on his shoulder, while the word “LIBERTY” is inscribed in the upper right.
Reverse: On the reverse is an American bison, which Fraser rendered in a left-side profile. The mottos “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM” are inscribed below its head and above its back, respectively. The name of the issuing country, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” and the metal content of the coin, “1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD,” are inscribed along the rim, while the coin’s face value, “$50,” is also noted at the bottom of this face. James Earle Fraser was a sculptor who designed many of the pieces that remain on display in the Washington, DC, area.
