Each 2013-W 1 oz Reverse Proof American Gold Buffalo Coin available here comes with a capsule to protect the coin. The reverse-proof finish includes a mirrored design element overlaying a frosted background field. This release honors James Earle Fraser’s 1913 design for the Buffalo Nickel.

Fraser’s most famous works include the sculpture of a Native American warrior on horseback called “End of the Trail” and the Buffalo nickel, a five-cent coin featuring a profile of a Native American on one side and a buffalo on the other.

Obverse design elements on the 2013-W Reverse Proof Gold Buffalo Coin include an indigenous American Indian in right-profile relief. He is shown with a stoic look on his face and braided hair that includes feathers at the back of his head.

Reverse visuals on these 2013-W 1 oz Reverse Proof American Buffalo Coins showcase the power and might of the American bison. Here, the American bison is shown on a small mound of dirt in left-profile relief with its head down.
