The American Gold Buffalo features a classic design rooted in early American history. The obverse displays James Earle Fraser’s iconic Native American portrait, originally created for the 1913 Buffalo Nickel, with “LIBERTY” and the year of issue. The reverse depicts a powerful American bison, symbolizing strength and the spirit of the American West, surrounded by inscriptions including “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the coin’s denomination and gold content.

The American Gold Buffalo has carved a unique place in the bullion market. As the first and only 24-karat gold coin offered by the U.S. Mint to the public, it appeals to both serious investors and numismatic enthusiasts. Its purity (.9999 fine), official backing by the U.S. government, and widespread recognition make it a trusted store of wealth, easily tradable worldwide.
