SilverTowne Trademark Buffalo Replica 1ozt .999 Fine Pure Silver Bar DESCRIPTION This 1oz t .999 Fine Pure Silver Art Bar is a great rendition of the famous Buffalo Nickel, also known as the Indian Head Nickel, designed by Fraser. The visage of the Indian which dominates Fraser's obverse design was a composite of several Native Americans. Fraser's design was the second and last US coin design to feature a realistic portrait of an Indian.The identity of the Indians whom Fraser used as models is somewhat uncertain, as Fraser told various and not always consistent stories during the forty years he lived after designing the nickel. In December 1913, he wrote to Mint Director Roberts that "before the nickel was made I had done several portraits of Indians, among them Iron Tail (Custer's opponent at Little Big Horn), Two Moons, and one or two others, and probably got characteristics from those men in the head on the coins, but my purpose was not to make a portrait but a type. According to Fraser, the animal that appears on the reverse is the American bison Black Diamond . In a interview published in the New York Herald on January 27, 1913, Fraser was quoted as saying that the animal, which he did not name, was a "typical and shaggy specimen" which he found at the Bronx Zoo . Fraser later wrote that the model "was not a plains buffalo, but none other than Black Diamond, the contrariest animal in the Bronx Zoo. I stood for hours ... He refused point blank to permit me to get side views of him, and stubbornly showed his front face most of the time." However, Black Diamond was never at the Bronx Zoo, but instead lived at the Central Park Zoo until he was sold and slaughtered in 1915. Black Diamond's mounted head is still extant, and has been exhibited at coin conventions. The placement of Black Diamond's horns differs considerably from that of the animal on the nickel, leading to doubts that Black Diamond was Fraser's model. One candidate cited by Bowers is Bronx, a bison who was for many years the herd leader of the bison at the Bronx Zoo.
