24k Gold Buffalo

The American Buffalo is the first 24-karat gold coin struck by the US Mint. Production of these highly anticipated coins is authorized by Public Law 109-145, dated December 22, 2005 — also known as the Presidential $1 Coin Act.

This beautiful coin feature images originally prepared by noted American sculptor James Earle Fraser for America's 5-cent coin (nickel). In 1913, the first year of the coin's issuance, there were two distinct varieties, the first showing the bison on a mound and the second with the base redesigned to a thinner, straight line. The new American Buffalo Gold Coins bear the original Fraser Type I design.

As the first .9999 fine 24-karat gold coins ever struck by the United States Mint, these beautiful coins are offered for sale through a network of Authorized Purchasers. These $50 gold coins will be available to members of the public seeking a simple and tangible means to own and invest in 24-karat gold in the form of legal tender coins whose content and purity is guaranteed by the United States Government.
