The Buffalo Silver bar was designed in 1913 by James Earle Fraser for the United States Mint. Fraser grew up in the Upper Midwest and his design was heavily influenced by the things he saw as a child. He would frequently follow his father for work. His father worked for the railroad and traveled across Minnesota and the Dakotas regularly.
The obverse of the Plated Silver bar German Buffalo Bar features the right-profile portrait of an American Buffalo figure, and including also the words of THE UNITED STATE OF AMERICA. Fraser combined the facial features of various living tribal leaders of the era rather than choosing one individual’s likeness for the coin.
Engravings on this bar include the word Liberty within the round portion of the obverse design. This side of the bar also includes the purity, metal content, and weight of the silver bar. The reverse includes the words “German Mint”.
