The Buffalo nickel or Indian Head nickel was a copper-nickel five-cent piece that was struck by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. I have created representations of this iconic coin on two round copper plates. The Indian Head is the front of the coin. The Buffalo is the back of the coin. 

"The American Indian is of the soil, whether it be the region of forests, plains, pueblos, or mesas. He fits into the landscape, for the hand that fashioned the continent also fashioned the man for his surroundings. He once grew as naturally as the wild sunflowers, he belongs just as the buffalo belonged." - Luther Standing Bear
