The right-profile portrait features braided hair and a feather woven into the braid, giving the design a strong, classic look. Sculptor James Earle Fraser first created this artwork in 1913 for the Buffalo Nickel, and it has since become one of the most recognized indigenous portraits in U.S. coinage history. **Reverse** The reverse of 2026 1 oz Gold Buffalo Coins features an American bison. Designed by Fraser for the 1913 Buffalo Nickel, this side shows the bison standing on a small area of ground with a sturdy, realistic stance. The inspiration for the bison is often credited to Black Diamond, a bison that lived at the Central Park Zoo in New York in the early 20th century. **History** The United States Mint released the 1 oz American Gold Buffalo in 2006 as the first U.S. bullion coin struck in 24-karat (.9999 fine) gold. It provided an alternative to the 22-karat Gold Eagle series that had long been the Mints main gold bullion option. Authorized by the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, the Gold Buffalo was created to offer a U.S. competitor to major 24-karat gold coins from around the world, including the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf. **Ordering** If you have any questions about 1 oz gold coins, please feel free to ask.
