| Reverse description | Miniature replica of the reverse of Fraser's Buffalo Nickel, depicting a massive American bison (commonly known as a buffalo) standing in left profile on a raised ground line, rendered with strong sculptural modeling that emphasizes the animal's powerful musculature and shaggy coat. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs along the upper periphery, with E PLURIBUS UNUM inscribed in smaller lettering below it in the upper field. The denomination FIVE CENTS appears in bold lettering along the lower periphery beneath the ground line, replicating the recessed exergue treatment introduced on the original series. |
