A Legacy in Gold: The American Buffalo Series
The American Gold Buffalo series was introduced by the United States Mint in 2006, marking the first time the U.S. government issued a .9999 fine 24-karat gold coin. Its design pays homage to the iconic "Buffalo Nickel" by James Earle Fraser, originally issued in 1913. This revered imagery features a Native American profile on the obverse and an American bison (buffalo) on the reverse, symbolizing the spirit of the American frontier. The 2008 fractional proof offerings, including this 1/4 oz denomination, allowed more collectors to experience the beauty and purity of this distinguished series.
