2026 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Coin (BU)

Description Introduced in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo was the U.S. Mint’s first coin struck from .9999 fine (24-karat) gold. It was created to meet the growing demand for pure gold bullion coins and to compete directly with the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf and other 24k programs worldwide. Each 2026 Gold Buffalo Coin contains 1 troy ounce of pure gold sourced entirely from U.S. mines. Unlike the 22k Gold American Eagle, the Buffalo contains no alloy metals — delivering unmatched purity and brilliance. The obverse features James Earle Fraser’s iconic portrait of a Native American chief, originally seen on the 1913 Buffalo Nickel. The reverse depicts an American bison standing proudly on the plains — modeled after “Black Diamond,” a buffalo once housed at the Central Park Zoo. Inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, the face value ($50), and 1 OZ .9999 FINE GOLD. Guaranteed by the United States Government, the 2026 Gold Buffalo Coin remains one of the purest, most recognizable gold coins in the world.
