History & Design
Introduced in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo was created to meet investor demand for a pure 24k gold bullion coin backed by the U.S. government. Unlike the American Gold Eagle, which is struck in 22k gold, the Gold Buffalo contains .9999 fine gold. The design is adapted from James Earle Fraser’s iconic Buffalo Nickel, originally issued from 1913 to 1938.
- Obverse: A composite portrait of a Native American, with the inscription LIBERTY and the year of issue
- Reverse: An American bison, along with inscriptions noting weight, purity, and the $50 USD face value
