Obverse

On the obverse of the 2025 American Buffalo Gold Coin, youll find the iconic portrait of an indigenous figure, designed by James Earle Fraser. This right-profile portrait was one of the first major U.S. coin designs to feature an indigenous person, although it is a composite of features from three tribal leaders rather than a single individual.

Reverse

The reverse of 2025 Buffalo 1 oz Gold Coins features the American bison, another design element by Fraser. The bison is shown standing on a small mound of earth, its head lowered as it grazes. The powerful image captures the essence of the American wilderness.

History

Frasers designs, first introduced in 1913 on the Buffalo Nickel, are still used today on the American Gold Buffalo Coins. These designs are significant because they honor the indigenous peoples of America and the wildlife that was essential to their way of life. It was the first time that a U.S. coin featured two images focused on native tribes, instead of the usual symbols of Liberty or the eagle.
