James Earle Fraser’s 1913 redesign of the nation’s five-cent piece birthed the iconic Buffalo Nickel. On the obverse of the American Gold Buffalo Coin, a right-profile portrait of a Native American chieftain emerged, crafted from the features of three different tribal leaders of the early 20th century.

The reverse of the 1 oz Gold Buffalo Coin features a left-profile image of a mighty buffalo, the American bison, inspired by Black Diamond, a resident of New York City’s Central Park Zoo in the early 20th century. In 2006, the 1 oz American Gold Buffalo coin revitalized Fraser’s design, maintaining its allure throughout subsequent releases.
