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 rhino design honors that heritage with exceptional texture detail, bold facial features, and the animal's characteristic horn. The rhinoceros symbolizes strength, power, and resilience, making it a popular motif in carved coin artistry. The vintage-style finish with aged patina and hand-carved aesthetic evoke the authentic look of traditional hobo nickels.
