A Legacy of American Coinage

Introduced in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo series marked a significant milestone as the first U.S. Mint coin struck from 99.99% pure, 24-karat gold. Its design pays homage to James Earle Fraser’s beloved Type 1 1913 Buffalo nickel. The obverse features a dignified Native American profile, a composite derived from three real-life chiefs, while the reverse showcases the majestic American bison, believed to be the famed "Black Diamond" from the Bronx Zoo. This 2008-W proof edition continues that proud tradition, offering both historical resonance and modern minting excellence.
