American Buffalo 1 oz Gold Coin

The Buffalo Gold coin series is minted annually with no mintage limit. The number of coins minted in any given year is determined by investor demand and monthly sales. The series was introduced in 2006 based on demand for investment-grade 24 karat gold coins. 

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 obverse features a well-known composite portrait created by combining images of three notable Native American Indian chiefs. Fraser first 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.  

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.
