First introduced in 2006, the 24-karat American Gold Buffalo revives James Earle Fraser’s iconic 1913 Buffalo Nickel designs. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, continues this celebrated tradition of purity and artistry.

The obverse features Fraser’s right-profile portrait of an Indigenous American, inspired by the combined features of three real-life tribal leaders from the early 20th century—the first Indigenous depiction ever to appear on a U.S. coin. The reverse showcases a powerful American bison, modeled after “Black Diamond” of the Central Park Zoo, standing on a grassy mound.
An enduring tribute to America’s cultural and natural heritage, the Gold Buffalo honors the bison’s vital role in Indigenous life across the Great Plains. Perfect for both collectors and investors, the Gold Buffalo delivers unmatched U.S. Mint quality, historical significance, and enduring value.
