American Buffalo 1 oz Gold 2013
The American Bison is the first U.S. Mint coin struck in 24-karat gold. It is a relatively young product, as it was first minted in 2006, but like all United States Mint coins it has quickly achieved popularity with investors around the world. It is interesting to note that in addition to the investment version, collector's editions (American Buffalo One Ounce Gold Proof Coin) are also sold, which include certificates of authenticity issued by the mint. The obverse depicts an Indian, which Fraser said was created as a blend of the characteristics of the three chiefs of the various American Indian tribes - Big Tree, Steel Tail and Two Moons. The obverse also depicts the motto 'Freedom ' in the upper right corner, the year of issue at the bottom left, and below that the letter F from Fraser's name. On the reverse, a Bison (often referred to as a buffalo) stands atop the mound. Most people believe that the animal depicted on the reverse is a buffalo named Black Diamond, who lived at New York Central Park Zoo in 1910. On the reverse, we can also see the American motto "In God We Trust" and "E pluribus unum" (Latin for Out of Many One) and the coin's denomination ($50). Do you need help?
