I think this is the most beautiful design. Its different then all the others and the details seem very accurate. Plus its gold.

Is it just me, or does that American Indian on junjun's half have a disproportionately small head? I do think that $5 gold Indian is a beautiful and unique coin, now I want one too!

For the non numismatic viewer, the most important factor is the design of the mural, not that of the coin.
A Buffalo nickel is OK, if blue and gold is otherwise used in the mural itself.
A valuable coin in a mural could be a somewhat of a distracting liability.
or,
How about a colour PICTURE of a gold coin, of appropriate size?

IF you could find someone with a copy of the 2015 Red Book by Whitman Publishing, check out page 295 for the Oregon Trail Memorial.

Nope, not just you...

"I like the "heroic head". In comics, one way to make superheroes look stronger is to draw a head smaller, like 1/7 or 1/8 of the total height, rather than a more normal 1/6.
