| Obverse description | Left-facing portrait bust of a Native American chief in high relief, adapted from James Earle Fraser's original 1913 Buffalo Nickel design. The subject wears a feathered war bonnet with three prominent eagle feathers extending to the left, rendered with exceptional sculptural detail. The legend LIBERTY is inscribed vertically along the right field, with the date 2001 appearing in the lower exergue below the portrait. The mint mark appears beneath the date. The bold, naturalistic modeling reflects Fraser's iconic Arts and Crafts aesthetic. |

| Reverse description | A massive American bison (buffalo) is depicted in left-facing profile, standing in full body view atop a raised rocky mound, faithfully reproducing Fraser's celebrated reverse design from the Buffalo Nickel. The musculature and shaggy coat of the animal are rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail and deep sculptural relief. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA curves along the upper periphery, with IN GOD WE TRUST inscribed in a straight line below it in the upper field. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM appears in two lines at the lower left field, and the denomination ONE DOLLAR is incused on the rocky base beneath the bison. The mint mark is visible below the denomination. |
