The Proof American Gold Buffalo coin has witnessed decades of domination in a fluctuating global gold market. Issued in 2006 during a time when the nation did not find it feasible to invest in gold, the release of the American Gold Buffalo miraculously revived the demand for gold almost instantaneously.
The obverse field of the 2009 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo Coin features the profile of a Native American Chief. Profiles of Chief Iron Tail of the Oglala Lakota, Chief John Big Tree of the Kiowa, and Chief Two Moons of the Cheyenne are considered to be the basis for this Native American Chief profile. James Earle Fraser originally created this profile for the Indian Head or Buffalo Nickel, which circulated from 1913 to 1938. Considered to be among the best designs of any US coin, the Buffalo Nickel obverse design was chosen for the American Gold Buffalo.
The reverse field of the 2009 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo Coin features the profile of an American Buffalo. The massive Black Diamond of the Central Park Zoo, believed to be the largest American buffalo ever held in captivity at the time, is felt to be the basis for the American Buffalo profile. This design, originally created by James Earle Fraser for the Buffalo Nickel, was chosen for the American Gold Buffalo due to its beauty and popularity.
