The Design

The obverse portrays James Earl Fraser’s Native American Chief design. It depicts a right-profile bust that combines traces from Native American tribes: the Big Tree, the Iron Tail, and the Two Moons. 

The word “LIBERTY” in front of the Native’s forehead, the year of mintage, and an “F,” referring to the artist’s initials, are included.

On the reverse, a giant American Bison, in an upstanding depiction, covers most of the surface, resembling a Buffalo. Hence, the coin’s moniker.

It also contains the engravings “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “$50,” and “1 OZ .9999 FINE GOLD,” referring to the coin’s denomination, weight, fineness, and metal content.

An NGC MS-70 First Releases coin 

Coin grading services like NGC - Numismatic Guaranty Company appraise and grade coins using the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70, depending on their condition.

According to NGC, “First Releases” refers to coins purchased from their original mint within the first 30 days of their official release and submitted to NGC appraisal.

MS means Mint State, referring to coins fabricated with the same shape as a popular business coin that remained uncirculated. 70, the highest grade on the scale, is for a coin with no visible flaws.
