Design Details
The American Gold Buffalo coin takes its name from the reverse design, which depicts a powerful American Bison standing on a mound. This iconic image is inspired by the original design used on the 1913 Buffalo Nickel by James Earle Fraser.
The reverse includes the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.” Also listed are the coin’s specifications: “$50,” “1 OZ .9999 FINE GOLD.”
On the obverse is the profile of a Native American chief, also designed by James Earle Fraser. The portrait is believed to be a composite of several Native American leaders, including Big Tree, Iron Tail, and Two Moons.
The inscription “LIBERTY” appears along the upper edge, while the year of issue (2026) and Fraser’s initial “F” appear near the lower left of the design.
Understanding MS-70 Coins
Independent grading services such as the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) evaluate coins using the Sheldon Grading Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70 based on condition.
“MS” stands for Mint State, meaning the coin has never been circulated and retains its original mint condition. A grade of MS-70 indicates a flawless coin with no visible imperfections under magnification.
