American Buffalo 1 oz Gold Coin

The Buffalo 1 oz Gold Coin is part of the American Buffalo coins series from the US Mint and serves as a unique intersection of art, history, and politics.

Its design pays homage to American heritage, its composition reflects economic and fiscal principles, and its introduction demonstrates the United States Mint's commitment to producing coins of the highest standard. It is a tangible representation of the nation's values and aspirations, making it a fascinating subject for both numismatists and political observers.

The American Buffalo Coin series was introduced in 2006 for investors of 24 karat gold. Each year the Gold Buffalo series is minted from pure .9999 fine gold, making them distinct from other popular coins produced by the US Mint. 

The Buffalo Gold coin series is minted annually. However, the exact number of coins minted in a given year is determined by investor demand. The US Mint manufacturers coins entirely based on sales.

American Buffalo Gold Coin Design

The design of the Gold Buffalo coin is modeled after James Earle Fraser's famous 1913 Buffalo Nickel, commonly referred to as the Indian Head Nickel because of the profile depiction of a Native American Indian on the obverse of the coin. 

The reverse of the 1 oz gold coin features the classic buffalo design. The bison design was modeled after Black Diamond, a 1,550 pound bison living in New York City's Central Park Zoo in the early 1900s. The reverse also includes inscriptions detailing the weight, denomination and gold content.

The obverse of the American Gold Buffalo features a well-known composite portrait created by combining images of three notable Native American Indian chiefs.

Fraser drew portraits of each chief, then combined prominent features from all three men into a composite sketch. The chiefs, Iron Tail of the Lakota tribe, Two Moons of the Cheyenne tribe, and John Big Tree of the Seneca tribe.
