The American Bufallo investment currency is one of the youngest bullion coins that are issued on a regular basis in the world. This 24-carat gold coin was put on sale for the first time on June 22, 2006 by the USMint or Mint of the United States. Because the beginning of its coinage coincided with that of the crisis, the demand for gold made this currency enormously popular, being a sales success. The Golden Buffalo is composed of one ounce of gold of a purity of 999.9 and has a face value of 50 US dollars.

Last week, the Proof 2019 version of this magnificent coin was released, with a starting price of $ 1,660, a price that may vary depending on the price of gold. The gold used to produce this currency must come, by law, from the United States.

The coin takes the design of another one of 5 cents of circulation that James Earle Fraser created in 1913, in which on its obverse an Indian is represented and on the reverse the figure of a bison or buffalo.



 

The obverse of the American Golden Buffalo presents a portrait of a Native American, the inscription of the year in which it has been struck, the word "LIBERTY" and the "F" mark that corresponds to the designer, James Earle Fraser. The portrait honors "the legacy of the first inhabitants of the United States," according to the American mint.

The profile does not represent a single man. Rather, it is a composite of several Native American men, including the Two Moons Chief of the Cheyenne tribe and the Iron Tail Chief of the Lakota Sioux.

The American Buffalo Proof coins feature the mint mark "W" to the left of the portrait, just below the largest pen. This indicates that the coin was minted at the United States Mint of West Point. This same coin in its base quality is also minted in West Point, but it does not carry a mint mark.
 




The reverse of the coin features a buffalo that looks to the left and stands on a rock or mound. His presence is omnipresent and powerful, since his head and tail seem to press against the edges of the coin. According to USMint, the American Buffalo "recalls the pioneering spirit of the westward expansion of the nation."

Some believe that the buffalo is based on an American buffalo called Black Diamond, which lived in the Central Park Zoo in New York and was considered the largest buffalo in captivity. Fraser, his designer lived in New York for more than a decade.

The reverse also presents the inscriptions: "United States of America", "E Pluribus Unum", "In God We Trust", "1 Oz. .9999 Fine Gold "and the face value" $ 50 ".
