First issued in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo was the first 24-karat gold coin ever produced by the United States Mint. With a purity of .9999 fine gold, it offers a simple and straightforward option for investors looking for high gold content without alloy metals. The design comes from James Earle Frasers 1913 Buffalo Nickel, giving the coin a classic American look that many collectors recognize. Paired with MintID CertiCards, this coin also provides an added level of security and verification. Right now, 2026 American Buffalo 1 oz Gold Coins in MintID cards are available from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2026 American Buffalo 1 oz Gold Coin in this listing is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and comes sealed inside a MintID CertiCard. The card includes an embedded NFC microchip protected with AES-128 encryption. This technology allows you to scan and verify your coin through the MintID system using a supported mobile device.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2026 American Buffalo Gold Coin shows a right-facing portrait of an Indigenous figure. This design was created by James Earle Fraser for the Buffalo Nickel released in 1913. Fraser used features from three different Indigenous individuals to form this combined portrait. The inscriptions here read LIBERTY, 2026, and Fraser’s F initial.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 2026 Buffalo 1 oz Gold Coin is an image of the American bison. Also created by Fraser, the bison is shown in left-profile detail. The design was based on Black Diamond, a bison that lived at the Central Park Zoo in the early 1900s, and shows the animal grazing with its head lowered. Inscriptions here read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS NUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, $50, and 1 OZ .9999 FINE GOLD.
