Best Answer

The famous buffalo (or Indian head) nickel was designed by James Earle Fraser. If a buffalo nickel isn't very worn you can see his initial "F" directly below the date.

The front portrait is a composite image based on three different Native American chiefs. The buffalo depicts Black Diamond who was kept at the Brooklyn Zoo.
