American Buffalo Various Vintages | 1 Ounce | Gold

Die jüngste Anlagemünze der USA

Goldmünzen haben auch in den USA eine lange Tradition. Sie wurden dort jahrhundertelang als Zahlungsmittel verwendet. 1785 wurde die Währung Dollar geschaffen, die United States Mint – die Münzprägeanstalt der Vereinigten Staaten – wurde 1792 gegründet. Von da an wurden eigene Münzen in der Währung Dollar geprägt.

The American Buffalo is the first 24-carat bullion gold coin issued by the United States Mint. Since 2006, it is minted and thus represents the youngest bullion coin of the United States. The coin exists since 2008 also as a denomination up to 1/10 ounce.

The design is based on a 5 cent nickel coin from 2013 (Indian Head nickel and Buffalo nickel). The gold coin shows on one side 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.

On the other side is the namesake of the coin, the North American buffalo. Furthermore, the lettering "United States of America", "Liberty" and "In God We Trust" are depicted as well as the indication of the nominal value and the fineness.

The coins are available in various vintages.
