The Mint launched the American Buffalo Coin Program in 2006. This 24-karat gold coin is the collector version of the official United States Mint American Buffalo One Ounce Gold Bullion Coin. Designs depicted on this coin are based on the 1913 Type I Buffalo nickel by sculptor James Earle Fraser.

The reverse (tails) features an American Buffalo and the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “$50,” “1 OZ.,” and “.9999 FINE GOLD.”
Complementing its handsome design, each coin is encapsulated and placed in a stylish clamshell and classic black presentation case with the United States Mint seal on the lid.
