This proof coin was available from the U.S. Mint from June 7, 2001, until it sold out on June 21, 2001.

The design is based on the five-cent Buffalo nickel designed by James Earle Fraser and minted from 1913-1938. That design features two American icons: a Native American profile, and an American Buffalo.

Three different Native Americans-Chief Iron Tail, Chief Big Tree and Chief Two Moons-modeled for Fraser for this coin. All three were performers in Wild West Shows in New York City. The buffalo model came from Central Park Zoo.

Fraser (1876-1953) was known for his famous western sculpture, "The End of the Trail." He also designed the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition Medal; the Victory Army and Navy medal; the Navy Cross Medal; and the Norse-American Centennial medal.
