A Modern Revival of America’s Most Iconic Coin Design

The American Buffalo pays tribute to the legendary 1913 Buffalo Nickel, created by sculptor James Earle Fraser, one of the most influential artists of the American Renaissance in coinage. The obverse features a bold, lifelike portrait of a Native American chief — a composite of three tribal leaders — rendered with remarkable depth and character. The reverse showcases the powerful American bison, symbolizing the strength, resilience, and heritage of the American West.

Struck in 24‑karat gold, the Buffalo’s satin finish and sculptural detail give it a presence unmatched by most modern bullion coins.
