Steampunk – Hobo Style Art Nickel | CCX | Limited to 100
A classic American coin reimagined through the mechanical world of steampunk.
The Steampunk Hobo Style Art Nickel, customized by CCX, transforms a genuine U.S. Buffalo nickel into a distinctive collectible inspired by Victorian-era machinery, industrial innovation, and retro-futuristic design.
Featuring intricate mechanical details, rich copper and brass tones, and striking full-color artwork, this exclusive release is limited to just 100 pieces.
Obverse – The Steampunk Inventor
The obverse reimagines the traditional Buffalo nickel portrait as a rugged steampunk adventurer wearing an elaborate mechanical top hat decorated with brass gears, copper tubing, pressure gauges, and industrial fittings.
A glowing amber monocle-style goggle, leather straps, and a mechanically adorned braid complete the character's appearance.
The background features a sepia-toned industrial cityscape with towering smokestacks, intricate gears, and vintage airships floating above the skyline. The original LIBERTY inscription remains visible, preserving a connection to the historic Buffalo nickel.
Reverse – The Mechanical Bison
The reverse transforms the iconic American bison into a powerful steampunk-inspired mechanical creation.
Detailed copper and brass armor plating, exposed gears, riveted panels, and mechanical components cover the bison's body. A glowing amber eye adds character to the design, while the original animal's powerful stance remains recognizable.
Behind the bison, a Victorian industrial landscape features steam-powered trains, factory towers, airships, and oversized gears against a warm sepia sky.
The original UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and FIVE CENTS inscriptions remain incorporated into the design.
