The 2026 1 oz American Gold Buffalo is a premium gold bullion coin issued by the United States Mint, struck to Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality. Each coin contains one troy ounce (31.103 g) of .9999 fine (24-karat) gold, making it one of the purest official gold coins regularly produced. It carries a $50 U.S. legal-tender face value and is fully guaranteed by the U.S. government for weight and purity.
The obverse design is adapted from James Earle Fraser’s classic 1913 Buffalo Nickel, featuring a detailed profile of a Native American. The reverse depicts an American buffalo, symbolizing strength and heritage. Its 32.7 mm diameter and 2.95 mm thickness give the coin a substantial presence, while the BU finish highlights crisp design details and radiant luster.
Widely sought after by both investors and collectors, the Gold Buffalo balances historical artistry with modern bullion investment appeal and commemorates two decades of the series since its first release in 2006.
