American Buffalo Various vintages | 1 ounce | Gold

The youngest bullion coin in the USA

Gold coins also have a long tradition in the USA. They were used there as a means of payment for centuries. The dollar currency was created in 1785 and the United States Mint was founded in 1792. From then on, the US minted its own coins in dollars.

The American Buffalo is the first 24-carat bullion gold coin to be issued by the United States Mint. It has been minted since 2006, making it the youngest bullion coin in the USA. The coin has also been available in denominations up to 1/10 ounce since 2008.

The design is based on a 5 cent nickel coin from 2013 (Indian Head nickel and Buffalo nickel). One side of the gold coin shows the portrait of an Indian, the inscription "Liberty", the minting date and the letter F, which stands for the designer of the coin: James Earl Fraser.

The coin's namesake, the North American buffalo, can be seen on the other side. The words "United States of America", "Liberty" and "In God We Trust" are also depicted, as well as the face value and fineness.

The coins are available in various vintages.
