The obverse features James Earle Fraser’s iconic Native American portrait, originally introduced on the Buffalo Nickel in 1913. The design is believed to have been inspired by multiple Native American individuals and remains one of the most recognizable portraits in American numismatics.

The inscription LIBERTY, the year 2026, and the West Point W mintmark complete the design.

Reverse – American Bison

The reverse depicts the majestic American bison standing atop a raised mound, inspired by Fraser’s original Buffalo Nickel artwork.

Surrounding the design are the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, $50, and 1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD.

Together, these classic designs celebrate America’s heritage, wildlife, and historic coinage.
