Historical Significance of the Buffalo Nickel

Introduced in 1913, the Buffalo Nickel, also known as the Indian Head Nickel, marked a bold departure from earlier coin designs. Created by sculptor James Earle Fraser, it features a majestic Native American chief on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse, encapsulating the spirit of the American West. The "Type Two" variety, minted later in 1913, was a crucial design modification. The original "Type One" design had the denomination "FIVE CENTS" on a raised mound, which was prone to rapid wear. The Type Two corrected this by recessing the "FIVE CENTS" below the field, offering greater durability and better preservation of detail. This specific coin was struck at the Denver Mint, indicated by the 'D' mint mark, adding another layer of historical context to its production.
