The American Gold Buffalo occupies a unique position in the U.S. Mint’s bullion portfolio, serving investors who prioritize gold purity over the durability advantages of alloyed coins. While it typically commands slightly higher premiums than Gold Eagles due to its pure gold content and specialized production, the Buffalo has carved out a dedicated following among precious metals enthusiasts. The coin’s distinctive early 20th-century design aesthetic, combined with its 24-karat purity, makes it particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate both historical American coinage artistry and modern investment-grade bullion.

The obverse design on 2026 American Gold Buffalo Coins features an indigenous figure in right-facing profile. Visible in the relief are braided hair and a feather woven into the braid, giving the portrait a distinct and traditional look. James Earle Fraser first introduced this design in 1913 for the Buffalo Nickel, and it is widely regarded as one of the earliest uses of an indigenous portrait on U.S. coinage and currency.

The reverse of the 2026 1 oz Gold Buffalo Coins displays an American bison. This enduring image, also created by Fraser for the 1913 Buffalo Nickel, shows a powerful bison standing on a small mound of dirt. The design was inspired by Black Diamond, a bison that lived at the Central Park Zoo in New York during the early 1900s.
