The obverse of this 2008-W Burnished Buffalo 1/4 oz Gold Coin features the famous left-facing portrait sculpt of a Native American man by James Earle Fraser, originally created for his 1913 Buffalo nickel design. Inscriptions read LIBERTY, W, 2008, and F.

The reverse of the 2008-W Burnished American Buffalo 1/4 oz Coin hosts Fraser’s celebrated depiction of an American bison standing on a raised mound. Inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, $10, and 1/4 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD.

History

While the U.S. Mint’s Eagle Gold Series is a staple bullion coin, the American Buffalo Gold Series stands out as the nation’s most brilliant pure gold strike. Containing .9999 fine gold, these classic coins revived the iconic Buffalo nickel imagery when first released in 2006. Though normally produced just in 1 oz sizes, 2008 saw a special one-year-only run of fractional weights for proof and burnished strikes.
