The American Gold Buffalo Coin Design
The Gold Buffalo coin is based on James Earle Fraser's famous Buffalo Nickel artwork. The obverse depicts the iconic Indian Head design and the reverse shows a majestic buffalo that was modeled after Black Diamond, the bison who once lived in New York City's Central Park Zoo. The Gold Buffalo brings back the design with finer detail, creating a collectible coin that is both beautiful and valuable.
