American Gold Buffalo Random year

The American Gold Buffalo is the first 24-karat gold bullion coin produced by the U.S. Mint, first offered on June 22, 2006. These coins are a great way to acquire gold at relatively low premiums while honoring their timeless design.

Each .9999 pure gold coin is released annually with the same design. The American Gold Buffalo is minted in smaller quantities than the 22-karat American Gold Eagle, making it highly collectible in your gold holdings. Its softer 24-karat content requires extra care when handling and storing. This is a collector's must-have coin!

Design History of the American Gold Buffalo

The American Gold Buffalo’s design is rooted in American history, inspired by the 1913 Indian Head Nickel. James Earle Fraser, a student of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, was commissioned by William Taft's administration to replace the Liberty Head design. Fraser drew inspiration from his personal experiences with Native Americans, portraying their heart and spirit. He is best known for the Buffalo Nickel design and his "End of the Trail" sculpture, which represents the exhaustion Native Americans endured as settlers took their land.

The obverse features a composite portrait of three Native American chiefs—Iron Tail (Sioux), Big Tree (Kiowa), and Two Moons (Cheyenne). The reverse showcases Black Diamond, an American Bison used as the model for the buffalo, which Fraser carefully drew, capturing its side profile.
