The Gold Buffalo was the first coin from the United States Mint that contains one-ounce of .9999 fine Gold. This beautiful coin is popular worldwide and is highly recognizable with its well-known Buffalo Nickel design.

The U.S. Mint does not sell its bullion coins directly to the public. Instead, they distribute their coins to only a handful of authorized purchasers who then sell the coins to the public.

Coin Highlights:

• Contains one-ounce of .9999 fine Gold.
• Obverse: James Earle Fraser's classic portrait of an American Indian in profile, as first seen on the 1913 Buffalo Nickel.
• Reverse: An American bison, adapted from the original reverse of the classic Buffalo Nickel.
• This image is thought to be based on Black Diamond, a buffalo living in the Central Park Zoo in the early 20th century.
• Sovereign coin backed by the U.S. government.
