American Gold Buffalo coins were created by the United States Mint as a means of competing with bullion coins from other sovereign mints struck in 24-karat gold. The Indian Head Nickel design was chosen for the obverse and reverse face of the Gold Buffalo program. On the obverse face of each coin is the left-profile image of a Native American chieftain, which combines the facial features of three real-world tribal leaders.
These coins are accepted as legal tender in the United States. The American Buffalo Coins offer the discerning investor the rare opportunity to own the only pure 24k gold bullion coins whose purity and composition are guaranteed by the Government of the United States.
