About the American Gold Buffalo

The American Gold Buffalo first made its debut back in 2006 after the American Buffalo Coin Act was passed. It proudly holds the distinction of being the very first U.S. Mint gold coin struck with 24-karat .9999 fine gold. That’s some pure, high-quality stuff right there.

Each coin carries a $50 face value and is backed by the U.S. government, giving collectors and investors alike confidence in its value and authenticity.

Design Details

The obverse side of this coin features a modern take on James Earle Fraser’s celebrated "Buffalo Nickel" design. You’ll see an American Indian in profile, a design that first appeared way back in 1913, along with the word “Liberty.” It’s a classic image steeped in American heritage.

On the reverse, you’ll find a majestic American Buffalo, a symbol of the great plains and the rugged spirit of the country. This image is struck by the U.S. Mint and proudly backed by the U.S. government, making it a coin with both beauty and trustworthiness.
