Own a dramatic modern tribute to one of America’s most iconic coin designs with the 2026 5 oz Silver Buffalo Nickel, issued by the Oglala Lakota Sioux Nation and struck in .999 fine silver. This impressive 60 mm, 5 troy ounce release reimagines James Earle Fraser’s beloved 1913 Buffalo Nickel design with extraordinary sculptural depth through Xceptional Mint’s innovative Beyond Relief™ technology.
The obverse features the classic Native American profile with remarkable dimension, texture, and lifelike detail, while the reverse showcases the powerful American bison beneath the inscription “Oglala Lakota Sioux” and the denomination “Five Cents.” Finished in an elegant Antique Proof style, the design has a bold, museum-medal presence that makes the familiar Buffalo Nickel motif feel newly alive.
