The American Gold Buffalo stands out as the only gold bullion coin from the United States Mint struck with 24-karat (.9999 fine) gold. Introduced in 2006, it marked the debut of .9999 pure gold coins in the US Mints catalog and brought back a beloved design from early American coinage. Unlike most US bullion coins that showcase Liberty or the bald eagle, the Gold Buffalo highlights themes tied closely to Americas western heritage.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2025 American Buffalo Gold Coin shows a Native American man facing to the right. This image was not modeled on one person, but rather combines the features of three Indigenous leaders that Fraser met in person during the early 1900s. It helped introduce Native American portraits to modern US coinage. Inscriptions include LIBERTY, 2025, and the F initial of Fraser.

Reverse

The reverse of 2025 Buffalo 1 oz Gold Coins shows an American bison standing calmly on a small rise. This animal was inspired by Black Diamond, a real bison who lived at New Yorks Central Park Zoo. Frasers rendering captures the natural power and symbolic strength of the bison in American culture. Inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, $50, and 1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD.

History

James Earle Fraser, the artist behind the Buffalo Nickel, also created the imagery used on the American Gold Buffalo. In addition to that famous coin, Fraser designed military honors like the Victory medal for WWI and the Navy Cross. His coin designs were known for their strong sense of place and history, influenced by his early life in the American frontier. His work became iconic for celebrating national identity through recognizable and respectful imagery.
