American Buffalo


In June, 2006, the United States Mint commenced production of America's very first 24-karat, pure gold (.9999% fineness) one-ounce coin, the American Buffalo. This beautiful coin, nicknamed "The Buffalo," is based upon American sculptor James Earle Fraser's revered Buffalo Nickel of 1913. The Buffalo displays Fraser's classic design of an American Indian on the obverse and the renown American bison on the reverse. Please email our Sales Team
