Designed by James Earle Fraser for the 1913 to 1938 run of Indian Head Nickels, the obverse features the portrait of a Native American. It’s believed that this design is the amalgamation of three chiefs from different tribes: Two Moons of the Cheyenne, Big Tree of the Kiowa, and Iron Tail of the Lakota Sioux. Inscriptions include “LIBERTY” and the year of issue.
On the reverse, you’ll find a profile view of Black Diamond, a 1,550-pound American Bison that once lived at the Bronx Zoo in New York. This side also includes the coin’s denomination, weight, and purity.
The Presidential Coin Act of 2005 authorized the US Mint to produce 24k gold coins with a face value of $50. The American Gold Buffalo was the result, and it has become a popular choice among gold investors. These coins are struck at the West Point location with a limited mintage of 300,000 per year.
Individual coins will ship in a plastic flip. Multiples may come in mint-sealed plastic sheets or tubes.
