Each coin carries a full ounce of pure 24-karat gold and comes from random years based on what’s sittin’ in stock. Let me tell ya a bit about what makes this coin special.
History and Significance
The American Gold Buffalo was first struck back in 2006, right after the American Buffalo Coin Act passed. It marked a big moment, bein’ the first time the U.S. Mint ever released a .9999 fine gold bullion coin. That’s mighty fine gold, purer than most other American gold coins out there. It’s a symbol of our proud heritage and a nod to the original Buffalo Nickel design that’s been beloved since 1913.

Over on the reverse, you’ll find a majestic American Buffalo, the same powerful creature that roamed the Great Plains. Both sides are struck by the U.S. Mint and carry that trustworthy government backing.
