Historical Significance of the American Gold Buffalo

The American Gold Buffalo series, introduced by the U.S. Mint in 2006, marked a significant milestone as the first 24-karat pure gold coin issued by the United States. Its revered design pays homage to James Earle Fraser's iconic Type I Buffalo Nickel, originally minted in 1913. This classic imagery features a Native American profile on the obverse and an American Bison, or buffalo, on the reverse. The 2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo continues this legacy, embodying both American heritage and the U.S. Mint's commitment to exceptional craftsmanship.
