American Liberty Independence Freedom Round Circular Medallion � Great USA Silver Proud and Beautiful Patriotic Pendant Ornament shenjian-fields=\"\"> The round was modeled after the famous Buffalo Nickel, minted from 1913-1938. The well-known design by sculptor James Earle Fraser featured a composite of three different Native American Chief�s busts on one side and an American Bison on the other. A few major differences are apparent with the round�s design. On the reverse, instead of a docile bison standing idly, a fierce Bison (also referred to as �American Buffalo�) charges across a grassy terrain. Additionally, instead of James Fraser�s �Indian Head� bust, the round�s obverse features a portrait of Sioux leader Sitting Bull. The round�s obverse pays homage to Hunkpapa Lakota chief Sitting Bull with an intricately detailed portrait. Drawing inspiration from a portrait of Sitting Bull from 1885, the round shows the respected Lakota chief wearing a traditional headdress and garb, gazing off into the distance. A traditional Sioux textile background adds a meaningful layer to the impactful design. Sitting Bull led his people through many years of resistance against US government policies and intrusion on Native lands. He was tragically killed during an attempted arrest at Standing Rock Indian Reservation in 1890. The round�s reverse depicts a charging American Buffalo with his horns pointed down, ready for a fight. Inscriptions relating to the theme of liberation surround the bison.
