A Tribute to American Heritage and Craftsmanship

The American Gold Buffalo series, first introduced in 2006, marked a significant milestone as the U.S. Mint's inaugural venture into producing coins of .9999 fine (24-karat) gold. Its design pays homage to James Earle Fraser's iconic 1913 "Buffalo Nickel," featuring a proud Native American profile on the obverse and a majestic American bison, or buffalo, on the reverse. The year 2009 holds particular note for this series, reflecting a period of keen interest in precious metals and contributing to the unique standing of these proof editions.
