The Enduring Legacy of the American Gold Buffalo
The American Gold Buffalo series debuted in 2006, marking a significant milestone as the first 24-karat pure gold coin from the U.S. Mint. Its design pays homage to the iconic Buffalo Nickel, originally conceived by renowned sculptor James Earle Fraser in 1913. The obverse features a stoic Native American profile, a composite of three real-life tribal chiefs, while the reverse proudly displays an American Bison, famously known as a buffalo. The 2012-W Proof Gold Buffalo from the esteemed West Point Mint continues this tradition, offering collectors a stunning rendition of a beloved American design in the highest purity gold available.
