Buffalo Nickel Tribute – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | Modern U.S. Coin Tributes
Description:
An enduring symbol of the American frontier, this 1 AVDP ounce .999 fine copper round pays tribute to the legendary Buffalo Nickel design first introduced in 1913. Bold, rugged, and unmistakably American, this iconic motif remains one of the most celebrated designs in United States coinage history.
The obverse features the powerful right-facing portrait of a Native American, a composite representation inspired by several tribal leaders of the era. Detailed braids, feather, and strong facial contours capture the strength and dignity that define this timeless image. The inscription LIBERTY and the date 1913 honor the year the original design debuted.
The reverse showcases the massive American bison standing firmly atop a mound — a tribute to the spirit of the West and the vast landscapes that shaped the nation’s identity. Above the bison reads UNITED STATES OF AMERICA with E PLURIBUS UNUM, while the lower arc bears ONE AVDP OZ along with the metal purity and mint attribution.
Struck in a full 39mm diameter with rich copper luster and bold relief, this tribute preserves the character and strength of the original nickel while offering the substantial presence of a one-ounce format.
