James Earle Fraser, the designer of the obverse side, said he created the design by mixing the features of three Great Indian Chiefs from different American Indian tribes.

The three Indian Chiefs were Big Tree (Kiowa Indians), Iron Tail (Sioux Indians), and Two Moons (Cheyenne Indians), all who posed as models, for him to sketch.

"LIBERTY" is inscribed along the top perimeter of the bullion coin.

This side of the coin also displays the gold coin's 'Year of Issue,' which is located in the Indian's shoulder above the letter 'F' which is the last initial for James Earle Fraser.
