This Buffalo round commemorates James Earle Fraser's buffalo nickel. Please see photos regarding the condition of the coin. 
James Earle Fraser was one of many artists and sculptors commissioned by the United States Mint and federal government in the early 20th century to help the Treasury Department develop all-new designs for the nation’s currency. His Buffalo Nickel design was inspired by his life growing up in Winona, Minnesota and the surrounding Midwest region.
The Buffalo Nickel was in circulation in the United States from 1913 to 1938, at which point the design was discontinued in favor of yet another new image. Fraser’s Buffalo design on the reverse, as depicted on this 1 oz Buffalo Copper Round, was inspired by Black Diamond. That bison was a resident of the Central Park Zoo in New York City during the early 1900s.
