Friday, 31 Jan 1913--The new nickel soon to take the place of the Goddess of Liberty nickel, which has been in use for many years, will have the American bison on one side and on the other the American Indian. there will be no "V". Instead will be the bison, under which appear the words "five cents" and "e pluribus unum." In design it will be truly American. It was designed by James E. Fraser of New York.
