I'm looking at a United States coin, dated this year. On the reverse is a picture of a bison.

It's not a nickel.

It's the Kansas state quarter; the bison is accompanied by a few flowers and the text "Kansas 1861" [statehood date--I looked it up].

It would bother me less if they weren't also issuing new nickels with bison on the reverse.

(quility, I think you'd like it--it's a reasonably nice bison, albeit small.)
