Production of American Buffalo 24-karat gold coins was authorized by Public Law 109-145, dated December 22, 2005, known as the Presidential $1 Coin Act.

The American Buffalo Gold coin's obverse and reverse designs feature images by noted American sculptor James Earle Fraser, once a student of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, for America's five-cent coin.

That popular coin, known as the "Indian Head", or "Buffalo Nickel" was introduced in 1913 and showcases the native beauty of the American West.

United States Mint American Buffalo Gold Proof Coins for Collectors

The United States Mint produces American Buffalo Gold Proof Coins for collectors. The term "proof" refers to a specialized minting process that begins by manually feeding burnished coin blanks into presses fitted with special dies. Each coin is struck multiple times so the softly frosted and highly detailed images seem to float above the field.

An official Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Director of the United States Mint accompanies each coin. American Buffalo Gold Proof Coins sell at a fixed price and can be purchased directly from the United States Mint.
