The 2026 American Buffalo Gold Coin (1 oz) is the latest release from the United States Mint and one of the most sought-after gold bullion coins in the world. Struck in 99.99% pure gold, the American Buffalo combines historical artistry with investment-grade quality, making it a top choice for collectors and investors alike.
The obverse features the classic Native American portrait designed by James Earle Fraser, first used on the Buffalo Nickel in 1913. This powerful design symbolizes the heritage and history of the United States. The inscriptions include “Liberty”, the year of issue 2026, and the letter “F” (for Fraser).
The reverse showcases the iconic American bison, also from Fraser’s original design. Above the buffalo are the inscriptions “United States of America” and “E Pluribus Unum”, while the denomination “$50” and the weight and purity “1 oz .9999 Fine Gold” are engraved below.
This combination of artistry and purity makes the Gold Buffalo one of the most recognized and admired bullion coins globally.
The American Buffalo Gold Coin was first introduced in 2006 as the U.S. Mint’s first 24-karat gold bullion coin. Its purpose was to compete with international gold coins like the Canadian Maple Leaf and Austrian Philharmonic by offering investors a pure gold option.
Since its launch, the Gold Buffalo has gained worldwide recognition for its high purity, trusted government backing, and timeless design. It remains one of the most popular gold coins for investors seeking both beauty and long-term value.
The 1 oz 2026 Gold Buffalo is struck in .9999 fine gold, making it an attractive investment for those who value purity, liquidity, and global recognition. Its legal tender face value of $50 is guaranteed by the U.S. government, further reinforcing confidence among investors.
