While the U.S. Mint’s Gold Eagle is a popular modern issue, the Gold Buffalo is the nation’s most profound pure gold coin. Composed of 24-karat gold, these .9999 pure coins were launched in 2006 but are modeled on the classic Buffalo nickel design from the early last century. Normally issued just as 1 oz bullion coins, 2008 marked a special year where fractional weights were introduced for burnished and proof strikes.

The obverse of the 2008-W 1/4 oz Burnished American Buffalo Coin features the portrait of a Native American man. Designed by James Earle Fraser, the man is seen in right-profile relief. Beneath his neck, identifying marks such as a “W” mint mark, year of issue, and initial of the artist is shown.

The reverse of the 2008-W Burnished American Gold Buffalo Coin showcases an American bison. The animal is seen in left-profile relief standing on a mound. Also designed by Fraser, identifying marks of the coin frame the overall design.
