2015 American Gold Buffalo 1 oz Coin - .9999 Fine 24K Pure Gold - Indian Head Buffalo Nickel Design - US Mint Bullion

This 2015 American Gold Buffalo is the full 1 troy ounce denomination, struck by the United States Mint in .9999 fine 24-karat pure gold — the highest purity gold coin ever produced by the US Mint and the only 24K gold bullion coin in the American series. Weighing 31.108 grams and measuring 32.7 mm in diameter with a thickness of 2.95 mm and a reeded edge, the coin's design pays homage to James Earle Fraser's iconic 1913 Type I Buffalo Nickel, one of the most beloved designs in American numismatic history. The obverse features a striking profile portrait of a Native American, a composite inspired by three real-life chiefs who sat for Fraser, with the word "LIBERTY" inscribed to the upper right and the date below. The reverse depicts a powerful American bison standing on a raised mound, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the denomination "$50" inscribed around the design, along with ".9999 FINE GOLD" and "1 OZ." confirming its purity and weight. The 2015 bullion issue has a mintage of 220,500 coins. Originally introduced in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo series quickly became a favorite among investors and collectors seeking pure 24-karat gold content in a coin backed by the United States government. This coin is also IRA-eligible, making it an outstanding choice for gold bullion investors, numismatic collectors, and precious metals portfolios.
