The American Buffalo Gold Coins don the design of James Earle Fraser’s buffalo nickel.  The gold buffalo coin obverse design is a portrait of an American Indian.  The reverse design is an American bison.  James Earle Fraser’s buffalo nickel was first minted in 1913.  Since then, it has been a favorite among coin collectors.  In fact, it might be the most beloved coin design on a US coin.

The American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coins were authorized by Congress in 2005 in the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005.  This is also the authorizing legislation for the Presidential $1 Dollar Series.

Another cool thing about the design of the 24-karat gold American Buffalo coin is that it is based off of the original 1913 buffalo nickel design.  American coin collectors refer to this first buffalo nickel design as the raised mound Type 1 1913 buffalo nickel.  This 1913 Type 1 buffalo nickel design was discontinued that same year because the date on the mound was wearing away quickly.
The United States Mint does not sell these American buffalo gold coins through the U.S. Mint website.  Instead, the United States Mint sells them to gold bullion dealers who then sell to the public.  These American Buffalo Gold Bullion coins are meant to be purchased for investment purposes for people wanting to buy gold bullion coins.  However, many coin collectors believe that these gold bullion coins will also have numismatic value when the U.S. Mint discontinues producing them.
