2024 1oz American Buffalo Gold Coin

Classic American Buffalo Gold Coin

The 2024 one ounce American Buffalo gold coin showcases the image of an American buffalo, inspired by Black Diamond, a bison that lived in New York City’s Central Park Zoo during the early 1900s.

Design
On the obverse is James Earle Fraser’s celebrated portrait of a Native American in profile, first created for the Buffalo Nickel in 1913. The reverse carries the powerful likeness of the buffalo, a design that has become one of the most enduring symbols in American coinage.

Heritage and Purity
First issued by the United States Mint in 2006, the American Buffalo was the Mint’s inaugural 24 carat bullion coin, struck in 999.9 fine gold. Its production was authorised under the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, which approved a one ounce coin with a face value of $50 and an initial mintage cap of 300,000 pieces. Guaranteed by the U.S. government for both weight and purity, the Gold Buffalo remains one of the purest bullion coins available on the global market.
