2025 NGC MS-70 FIRST30™ 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Coin

2025 NGC MS-70 FIRST30™ 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Coin 

The American Gold Buffalo was the first 24-karat gold coin produced by the US Mint. Introduced to the numismatic market in 2006, its design honors the nation's heritage.

Created by James Earle Fraser, the coin features a dignified Native American chief on the obverse and a mighty American buffalo on the reverse.

These coins, in particular, are part of SD Bullion’s exclusive MintCertified™ program.

The Design

The obverse replicates the Indian Head Nickel, first released in 1913 and crafted by James Earle Fraser. 

It showcases a right-facing portrait of a Native American, which mixes features from several tribes, including Big Tree, Iron Tail, and Two Moons. 

The outer rim bears the inscription "LIBERTY" near the Native American’s forehead, the mintage year, and an "F" representing the artist’s initials in the lower left corner.

The reverse depicts a majestic American Bison standing. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" are engraved above the bison, with "IN GOD WE TRUST" placed near its muzzle. 

Details about the coin’s weight, metal content, fineness, and face value are beneath the bison reading: "$50," "1 OZ .9999 FINE GOLD."
