Obverse

James Earle Fraser’s stunning work is showcased on the obverse of the 2023-W Proof American Buffalo Gold Coin, depicting an indigenous American created by merging facial features from three prominent indigenous leaders from early 20th century America. Inscriptions include LIBERTY, 2023, Frasers F initial, and the W mint mark of the West Point Mint.

Reverse

The reverse design of the 2023-W Proof Buffalo 1 oz Gold Coins immortalizes the power of the American bison, also known as the Plains Bison or buffalo, a creature that played an important role in the beliefs, culture, and everyday life of America’s indigenous tribes. Fraser was inspired by Black Diamond, a bison from the Central Park Zoo, when creating this design. The inscriptions on this side read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, $50, and 1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD.

History

The American Buffalo Gold Coin is based on the historic Buffalo Nickel, a coin that was considered a significant departure from the previous design of the five-cent coin, which featured a portrait of Liberty on the obverse.
