About the Design

Hobo nickels are a uniquely American folk art tradition dating back to the late 1800s, when itinerant artisans would hand-carve Buffalo nickels into miniature works of art. This roaring lion design honors that heritage with exceptional mane texturing, bold facial features, and dramatic expression. The lion symbolizes strength, courage, and majesty, making it a popular motif in carved coin artistry. The vintage-style finish and hand-carved aesthetic evoke the authentic look of traditional hobo nickels.
