{{/presale}}In 2008, the United States Mint unveiled the highly anticipated Proof American Gold Buffalos, marking only the third release in this esteemed series. Characterized by their striking frosted designs contrasted against mirror-like backgrounds, these coins are a true collector’s gem. Now, you can add the prestigious 2008 Proof American Buffalo 1 oz Gold Coins to your collection, available at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Inspired by the iconic 1913 Buffalo Nickel design by James Earle Fraser, the American Gold Buffalo pays homage to the spirit of the American West. On the obverse, an authoritative indigenous figure stands proudly, symbolizing resilience and cultural heritage.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2008 Proof Buffalo 1 oz Gold Coin features a proud and stoic portrait of a Native American man facing to the right. This depiction is widely believed to be a composite image inspired by several Native American individuals Fraser encountered during his life, rather than a specific person. Inscriptions read LIBERTY, 2008, Fraser’s F initial, and the W mint mark.
Reverse
The reverse of 2008 Proof American Buffalo Gold Coins showcases a majestic American bison, an emblem of strength and abundance deeply rooted in indigenous traditions. Fraser’s portrayal captures the essence of this iconic creature, drawing inspiration from the legendary Black Diamond. The inscriptions here read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, $50, and 1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD.
History
The bison plays a central role in the cultural identity of many indigenous tribes. Artwork, dances, songs, and stories often feature bison motifs, reflecting the integral relationship between humans and these majestic creatures.
