The American Buffalo Gold Coin, first introduced in 2006, holds the distinction of being the first 24-karat (.9999 fine) gold coin ever issued by the United States Mint. Designed to compete with other pure gold bullion coins like the Canadian Maple Leaf and the Austrian Philharmonic, the American Buffalo is globally recognized for its iconic design, high purity, and government guarantee. The 1 Ounce 2026 American Buffalo Gold Coin continues this proud tradition, offering investors a tangible and trusted store of wealth.
Struck from 1 troy ounce (31.1035 g) of 999.9 fine gold, the 2026 American Buffalo combines artistry with exceptional purity. Its design is based on the historic 1913 Buffalo Nickel, originally created by James Earle Fraser.
The obverse features a detailed profile of a Native American chieftain, believed to be a composite of several tribal leaders, symbolizing the heritage and culture of Native Americans. The inscriptions include “LIBERTY” and the year of issue, “2026.”
The reverse showcases the majestic American bison, commonly known as a buffalo, standing on a mound of earth. This design has become one of the most iconic depictions in U.S. coinage history. The inscriptions read “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the specifications: “$50,” “1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD.”
With a diameter of 32.7 mm and a thickness of 2.95 mm, the American Buffalo is struck in brilliant uncirculated quality, combining visual appeal with investment-grade gold content.
As a .9999 fine gold coin, the American Buffalo is ideal for investors who prefer pure bullion coins. Its global recognition, artistic heritage, and government guarantee make it a reliable hedge against inflation and market uncertainty. The coin’s 24-karat gold content also appeals to international investors in markets where high-purity gold is preferred.
