Historical Significance of the American Gold Buffalo

The American Gold Buffalo series was first introduced by the United States Mint in 2006, marking a significant milestone as the first 24-karat (.9999 fine) pure gold coin issued by the U.S. government. Its creation aimed to compete with popular foreign 24k gold bullion coins and quickly captured the attention of collectors and gold enthusiasts alike. The coin's design pays homage to James Earle Fraser's classic 1913 "Type 1" Buffalo Nickel, featuring a stoic Native American profile on the obverse and a majestic American Bison (often identified as Black Diamond) on the reverse. The 'W' mint mark signifies its origin from the historic West Point Mint, a facility renowned for producing high-quality numismatic items.
