    Description

    The Gold Buffalo 1 oz is the flagship 24-karat gold bullion coin produced by the United States Mint, and one of the most recognized gold coins in the world. Struck in 0. 9999 fine gold and carrying a $50 face value, this 1 troy oz coin is the first 24-karat gold coin ever issued by the U. S. Mint for general circulation and bullion collecting. The obverse showcases James Earle Fraser's celebrated portrait of a Native American chief, inscribed with LIBERTY and the year of issue, while the reverse presents Fraser's powerful American bison standing on a mound — a design adapted directly from the beloved 1913 Buffalo Nickel. Inscriptions on the reverse include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the coin's weight and fineness: 1 OZ. . 9999 FINE GOLD. The reeded edge and bold, high-relief sculpting make this coin as visually compelling as it is substantive. Each coin is a piece of American numismatic heritage, drawing collectors and gold enthusiasts alike with its pure gold content and iconic Americana imagery.
