Brief History

In 2007, the US Mint created a series of Presidential Dollar coins. They were able to work on this coin series through the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005. The Act also mandated the Lincoln Cent’s redesign in 2009 to honor the 16th U.S. President’s 200th birthday. Additionally, the act authorized the mint to manufacture a 1-ounce 24K gold bullion coin with a face value of $50 and a mintage of up to 300,000 coins per annum.

Moreover, the Secretary of Treasury shall mint and issue $50 gold bullion and proof coins with this act. The front side and backside of the coin will reflect James Earle Fraser’s designs. Additionally, the Act mandates that the gold for the coins should come from natural deposits in the U.S. or any U.S. territory. Manufacturers also have to use this gold within one year after its mining. Lastly, the public should classify such coins with this gold as legal tender and treat them as numismatic items.

Design of an American Gold Buffalo Coin

The timeless look of the American Gold Buffalo coin was designed by James Earle Fraser, a legendary sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens student. The Mint used this design for 25 years until the release of the American Buffalo Commemorative Coin in 2001. The front and reverse designs of the American Buffalo Gold Coin feature images created for America’s five-cent coin introduced in 1913. That famous coin, referred to as the “Indian Head” or “Buffalo Nickel,” displays the American West’s native beauty.

The coin’s obverse features chiefs from three tribes, namely Big Tree, Iron Tail, and Two Moons. The top right of the coin displays the word “Liberty,” while on the bottom left is the year of mintage, and below it is the letter F that stands for Fraser. 

On the other hand, the coin’s reverse features a buffalo standing on a rock. The buffalo is believed to signify the recollection of the National’s pioneering spirit towards westward expansion. It bears the words “the United States of America, In God We Trust, E Pluribus Unum, 1 oz. .9999 Fine Gold, and $50.”

Overall, the American Buffalo’s ‘Proof’ coins have a distinctive “frosty” mirror-like shine. Since the coin was made of 24k pure gold, the coin’s color is yellow or golden. President Franklin Roosevelt commissioned this design in the 1900s. The austere, aquiline features of a Native American Chieftain with two feathers tied high in his hair are visibly preserved in his profile. Also, the proud face of an American Buffalo looking westward is on the coin’s reverse side.
