Historical and Design Significance
The American Gold Buffalo was first introduced in 2006, following the passage of the American Buffalo Coin Act. This coin holds the distinction of being the first U.S. Mint bullion coin struck in .9999 fine gold, setting a new standard for purity.
The obverse showcases a modern take on James Earle Fraser’s iconic 1913 "Buffalo Nickel" design, featuring the profile of an American Indian chief with the word “Liberty” inscribed. This design captures a deep connection to American heritage and artistry.
On the reverse, you’ll find a majestic American buffalo, a symbol of strength and resilience, also struck by the U.S. Mint and backed by the U.S. government. The imagery connects collectors with the rugged spirit of the frontier, reflecting the spirit of the Space Coast’s own pioneering mindset.
