The fantastic 2017 American Buffalo 1 ounce gold coin. The Gold Buffalo is America's premier one ounce 24-carat gold coin and was the first their New York mint ever released - a direct result of foreign competition.
The coin has a legal tender value of $50, which is the same as the American Eagle coin.
The front or obverse of the coin is detailed with the word Liberty and an F mark, to indicate it is a design by American sculptor James Earle Fraser.
The image on the obverse is the profile of a Native American. It first appeared in 1913 on the Buffalo Nickel and is roughly based on three American Indian chieftains: Iron Tail (Sioux), Big Tree (Kiowa), and Two Moons (Cheyenne). All three sat to be drawn by James Fraser at different points in time.
The reverse of the coin has United States of America across the top, and as well as the latin motto E Pluribus Unum - “Out of many, one”. The phrase ‘In God We Trust’ appears on all US gold coins and has done since 1908.
The image of an American Buffalo was also derived from the Buffalo Nickel and is based on Black Diamond, a buffalo from Central Park Zoo during the early 20th century.
