An American bison and the portrait of a Native American, after the designs James Earle Fraser created for the US five-cent piece of 1913.

Fraser’s choice

Two images for one country.

James Earle Fraser was born in 1876 in Winona, Minnesota, and grew up on the prairie near Mitchell, South Dakota. He studied in Paris and under Augustus Saint-Gaudens, then opened his own studio in New York.

In 1913 his five-cent piece went into circulation, the “Buffalo Nickel”. On one side he placed the portrait of a Native American, on the other an American bison. According to the Smithsonian, Fraser chose both as “indisputable representatives of the nation”.

According to the United States Mint, the nickel was thus one of the first to depart from the customary eagle or wreath. It was struck until 1938.

Several Native Americans sat for the portrait.

“My purpose was not to make a portrait but a type.”
James Earle Fraser, December 1913

This silver bar bears both images after Fraser’s design.

The bison

From a few dozen animals, herds grew again.

Before the mid-19th century, perhaps 30 to 60 million bison roamed North America, most of them on the Great Plains. By the 1890s there were fewer than 1,000.

Yellowstone is the only place in the US where bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times. In 1902 the herd there still numbered about two dozen animals. In the same year, 21 bison from two private herds were added. From both groups grew the two large herds that live in the national park today.

Since 9 May 2016, the bison has been the national mammal of the USA by law.

As a bar

According to the United States Mint, Fraser’s buffalo designs are “not protected by copyright”. Private mints may therefore strike them.

On the portrait side are “LIBERTY” and “1 oz .999 FINE SILVER”.
