Historical Background of the American Gold Buffalo Series
The American Gold Buffalo series, introduced in 2006, was the first U.S. government-issued 24-karat gold coin. Its design pays homage to James Earle Fraser's iconic "Indian Head" or "Buffalo Nickel" from 1913. The obverse features a Native American profile, a composite portrait inspired by three real-life chiefs. The reverse showcases an American bison, capturing the spirit of the American frontier. The proof version, struck for collectors with a special finish, carries on this celebrated legacy, offering a sharp contrast between its frosted devices and mirror-like fields.
