Description:
Obverse: Features the iconic Native American profile, designed by James Earle Fraser, with the date prominently placed near the neck.
Reverse: Displays the majestic American Bison, standing on a mound.
Type 2: The base under "FIVE CENTS" is recessed to prevent wear, an adjustment made after the initial Type 1 design.
Historical Significance: The Buffalo Nickel (1913–1938) represents one of the most celebrated and artistic coin designs in U.S. history. The 1913 Type 2, minted in San Francisco, is a sought-after issue due to its relative scarcity and historical context.
