Description

This beautiful piece is perfect for the study or office nook. The Buffalo Nickel (sometimes called the Indian Head Nickel) is a U.S. five-cent coin that was designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser in 1912. It was part of the Mint’s campaign to beautify American coinage and featured a realistic portrait of a Native American on one side and an image of a buffalo on the other. The first Buffalo Nickels were struck on February 22, 1913. They were unofficially introduced into limited circulation at the groundbreaking ceremony for the National American Indian Memorial in Staten Island, New York. Though the design itself is fantastic, this portrait  representation enhances the aesthetic by making it resemble an impressionist painting.

This image is a 16″ X 8″ X 1.5″ giclee print using archival inks on 100% cotton acid-free museum grade paper that will last for decades without fading. It is mounted on a sanded, sealed, and stained 1.5″ deep wooden box frame protected with a UV and water proof coating. The reverse side is branded with the American Nook logo in metallic gold imprint. Designed and manufactured in the USA.
