The creation of the American Gold Buffalo coins stems from Title II of Public Law 109-145, known as the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005. This legislation authorized the striking and issuance of 1-ounce $50 gold bullion and proof coins, crafted from .9999 pure gold sourced from US natural deposits or territories.

The introduction of the 24-karat American Gold Buffalo coins positioned the US alongside countries like Canada and China, which already offered 24-karat gold coinage like the Gold Maple Leaf and Gold Panda, respectively.

Each 2006-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo Coin will arrive in a presentation box from the US Mint to preserve the condition of your gold coin and serve as a stunning showcase. Each coin also arrives with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The obverse design of the 2006-W Proof American Gold Buffalo coin is a modified rendition of James Earle Fraser’s iconic Indian Head nickel, inspired by sketches of revered American Indian chiefs.

The distinguished reverse features an American Buffalo, thought to be modeled after Black Diamond, the famed buffalo of the Central Park Zoo.
