Historical Background of the American Gold Buffalo

The American Gold Buffalo series draws inspiration from the iconic 1913 Type 1 Buffalo Nickel, designed by James Earle Fraser. This timeless design features a stoic Native American profile on the obverse, a composite portrait believed to represent chiefs from various tribes. The reverse showcases an American bison, colloquially known as a buffalo, evoking the spirit of the American frontier.
