The American Gold Buffalo — America's First 24-Karat Gold Coin

Introduced in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo holds the distinction of being the first 24-karat gold coin ever produced by the United States Mint. Struck in .9999 fine gold — the purest standard used in major government bullion programs — the Gold Buffalo is struck at the West Point Mint and carries James Earle Fraser's classic Buffalo Nickel design: the portrait of a composite Native American figure on the obverse, and an American bison on the reverse. The design, originally issued on the 1913 nickel, remains one of the most recognized in American numismatic history.

Pure Gold in a Trusted Government-Backed Format

At .9999 fine gold, the Gold Buffalo contains a higher gold purity than the American Gold Eagle, making it comparable in purity to leading international bullion coins such as the Canadian Maple Leaf and the South African Krugerrand. Its government guarantee of weight, content, and purity — combined with its status as legal tender — gives buyers confidence in the coin's authenticity and standardized composition. The 1 oz Gold Buffalo is one of the most sought-after physical gold products for both new and experienced precious metals buyers.
